Spiced Nuts

 Seasoned with Love
I love warm nuts in spices, but of course you can eat them cold. Here is a recipe for making your own spiced nuts.


1/4 cup butter
4 cups nuts ( almonds, cashews, peacans or whatever is your favorite)
2 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon nutmeg

In a skillet melt butter and then add your nuts.
Cook over low heat for 20 minutes
Drain onto paper towels.
While your nuts are cooking mix remaining ingredients in a plastic container with lid
Add warm nuts to mixture, replace lid and SHAKE!
Spread on a baking sheet or foil to cool.
Store in an airtight container.

If you want to give as a gift...Decorate an old jar with fabric, paper, raffia, embellishment or whatever your heart desites. Fill with the nuts, and then add a fabric circle to the lid, tie a ribbon/raffia around fabric and you have a nice gift.
Take along with you to Thanksgiving dinner as a thank you or these make a nice neighbor gift for the holidays. .
