Sweet & Savory Spiced Nuts image

I found this recipe on familyfun.com They used pecans in the recipe, but I am sure you could sub any nuts you choose. They use a bit of canola or corn oil in the glaze, you could use a mild flavoured olive oil as well. These would be a great addition to any holiday goodie basket. They do say to avoid putting the nuts in plastic bags because the coating will rub off. The best method to package them would be in a small glass bowl wrapped with cellophane, or in a small decorative tin.

These nuts are a great way to use up leftover spices. I always have a jar of pumpkin pie spice on hand, so I used that in this recipe.

A bit too spicy for my taste, but still very good.
