ANCHO-SPICED NUTS

Everybody likes something to munch on for extra energy, or to accompany that glass of wine earned by a day of unpacking! You may think you'll never find ancho-chile powder, but McCormick packages it, and it is readily available at most grocery stores. It's really important to keep the heat on low in this recipe, because the nuts and spices are inclined to get too brown.

Yield makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup pecans
1 cup cashews
2 teaspoons light-brown sugar
2 teaspoons ancho-chile powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over low heat. Stir in the nuts, the sugar, and the spices, and toast them together for about 6 minutes. Transfer to a sheet tray, and cool completely. Put the spiced nuts in a Mason jar, and tie with a bow to give as a gift.
