Nuts for the Holidays

Like the not-so-clever double-entendre? I made these nuts last year and just finished eating them almost a year to date despite the fact that the recipe says they keep for two weeks. (I hate this age of covering your butt to the extreme...but I digress). You may think nuts around the holidays are a bit cliche and passe, and perhaps they are, but they are tasty nonetheless. And super easy. If you make a ton as I did last year and find yourself eating them well into 2010, they are good chopped up on salads or as a snack.
