If you need some last-minute gifts, why not whip up a batch of spiced nuts? I have the perfect recipe for you. It’s from Cara, a crafty genius from Portland.
\nCara’s Nuts
\n1 1\/2 cups EACH of three different kinds of nuts (I used peanuts, cashews, and almonds. Cara eschews peanuts and opts for something fancier, such as pecans)
\n3 tablespoons butter, melted
\nSpice mixture:
\n2 tablespoons brown sugar
\n1 tablespoon kosher salt
\n2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (I didn’t have fresh, so I used a teaspoon or so of dried)
\n1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
\nToss the nuts in the melted butter. Mix in the spice mixture. Here’s what it looks like:
\n\"nuts<\/a>
\nWhen the nuts have cooled, divide them into decorative containers, such as these pint-sized paint cans (also Cara’s idea. Aren’t they cute? You can get three canfuls out of one batch of nuts):
\n\"nuts<\/a>
\nTie a nice ribbon around the can or stick a bow on it. I thought it would be cute to attach a paint can opener, too, but I didn’t do it for this batch.
\n\"nuts<\/a>
\nYummy! Now, I also really want to try Alton Brown<\/a>‘s White Trash Party Mix that Jenny<\/a> talks about, but I am scared. I have a weakness for party mix.
\nAnd THANKS for all the kind words about Ribby! I looked at my elann receipt, and I had purchased 7 of the claret and 4 of new leaf. I think 5 of claret would have been plenty for the main body, so if you’re thinking about making a small, I think you’d be okay with 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
