SAVORY MACADAMIA NUTS

Steps:

• Line a 13x9x2 inch baking pan with foil; lightly coat the foil with cooking spray. Set pan aside. In a small bowl stir together Worcestershire sauce, oil, Italian seasoning, salt and cayenne pepper; set aside.
• Spread nuts in prepared pan. Drizzle with seasoning mixture; toss gently to coat.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven about 15 minutes or until nuts are toasted, stirring occasionally. Lift foil with nuts from pan. Let cool for 30 minutes. Store nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 2 months.

HOW TO TOAST MACADAMIA NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil (optional).
• Toast nuts for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned.

CANDIED MACADAMIA NUTS

Steps:

• Toss all ingredients together in a large bowl.
• Place in a pyrex baking dish.
• Bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes, until lightly browned.
• Cool and serve.

CANDIED MACADAMIA NUTS

Steps:

• In a clean, dry castiron skillet on medium heat lightly toast the nuts for about 3 minutes.
• Add the sugar; mix well.
• The sugar will start to melt as it comes to temperature.
• At this point you want to watch the skillet carefully so that the sugar doesn't burn. Reduce heat if necessary. Should the sugar burn, you must start over.
• NOTE: If the skillet starts to smoke, remove pan quickly and reduce heat.
• Continue cooking until the sugar is entirely melted and the nuts are coated, about 2 minutes. This is a messy recipe but worth the hassle.
• Remove promptly from the stove and place the nuts on parchment paper, spreading out as best as possible. Cool.
• Much of the candied nuts will stick together like candy brittle but will easily break apart once cooled.
• Store in airtight container and refrigertate any leftovers.
• (These are highly addicting and usually only half of the nuts end up in a salad because I eat most of them beforehand.).
