CHINESE FIVE SPICE
I regularly mix up my own spice blends. I have recipes of Indian and Mexican spice blends, too. But my favorite is this Chinese five spice version with its strong anise flavor. It's so convenient to make this mix from pantry staples I have on hand. -Lydia Scott, Englehart, Ontario

FIVE-SPICE PEANUT AND PUMPKIN MUFFINS
Pumpkins, nuts and spice - it's a taste of fall. Adding peanut butter to muffin batter packs extra protein and helps keeps the muffins moist. This recipe can also make a delicious loaf; simply bake at 350°F (180°C) for an hour, or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean

Tips:
1. **Choose the right peanuts.** Fresh, raw peanuts are best for this recipe. Avoid peanuts that are roasted or salted, as they will not have the same flavor or texture. 2. **Use a good-quality five-spice powder.** Five-spice powder is a blend of several spices, including cinnamon, cloves, fennel, star anise, and pepper. Make sure to use a good-quality powder that is fresh and flavorful. 3. **Toast the peanuts before cooking.** Toasting the peanuts brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast them in a pan on the stovetop or in the oven. 4. **Use a nonstick pan.** A nonstick pan will prevent the peanuts from sticking and burning. 5. **Cook the peanuts over medium heat.** Medium heat will help to evenly cook the peanuts without burning them. 6. **Stir the peanuts frequently.** Stirring the peanuts frequently will help to prevent them from burning. 7. **Add the five-spice powder and sugar towards the end of cooking.** This will help to prevent the spices from burning and will allow the sugar to caramelize. 8. **Serve the peanuts immediately.** Five-spice peanuts are best served warm and fresh.Conclusion:
Five-spice peanuts are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply snacking on at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious five-spice peanuts that are sure to be a hit!
