Method

How to make Holiday spiced nuts



1) 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.

2) 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.

3) Add smoked nuts to the skillet and turn to combine evenly with butter.
