This is a double batch, 3 cups to serve, 3 cups to gift-away. Buy nuts from bulk bins in market ? they are better priced than nuts on baking aisle.

Ingredients

2 cups walnut halves
1 cup peeled hazelnuts
1 cup whole unsalted cashews
1 cup whole pecan halves
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon ground anise
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, eyeball it
1 cup smoked almonds (recommended: Diamond Smokehouse almonds)

Directions

Heat a large skillet and cook nuts over moderate heat 7 to 8 minutes until golden and well toasted – your nose will know when they are done. Transfer nuts to a plate and return pan to stove top. Add butter to the pan in small pieces. Melt butter and spice it with anise, cinnamon, pepper and nutmeg. Let butter infuse a minute then pour over nuts. Turn off heat. Add smoked nuts to the skillet and turn to combine evenly with butter.

Loved this recipe. Changed it up a little bit by adding 1/4 tsp of cayenne and 1/4 tsp of ground mixed spice. Also used ground toasted anise seeds and 2 tbsps of butter instead of three.

All personal preference changes - I'm sure they would be just as yummy made exactly to the recipe.

I found that these nuts were a littel bland. I added more spices; still a littel bland. Then I threw in some sugar. Improved the taste.
