SUGAR 'N' SPICE NUTS
To tell the truth, I can't recall where this recipe came from. It's been a regular in my holiday baking, though, for many years. Between Thanksgiving and New Year's, I hand these out to almost everybody-even the mailman's been known to find a batch in the mailbox! I moved from a big city as a bride. My husband soon persuaded me to enter baked goods at our county fair-now, our son, 8, is my cookie tester, and our daughter, 6, is the egg beater.

Tips:
- Use a variety of nuts: This will give your mixed nuts a more interesting flavor and texture. Some good options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, cashews, and pistachios.
- Roast the nuts before using them: This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can roast nuts in the oven or in a pan on the stovetop.
- Add spices and seasonings to taste: This is a great way to customize your mixed nuts and make them your own. Some good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and cayenne pepper.
- Sweeten the nuts with honey or maple syrup: This is a great way to add a touch of sweetness to your mixed nuts. You can also use granulated sugar, but honey or maple syrup will give your nuts a more natural flavor.
- Add dried fruit or chocolate chips: This is a great way to add some extra sweetness and flavor to your mixed nuts. Some good options include raisins, cranberries, cherries, and chocolate chips.
