Thread Name: BS: NUTS!
Subject: RE: BS: NUTS!
Most packaged salted nuts have too much salt. Get the unsalted in the bakery section and do your own.
Posted elsewhere, but again-

2 cups unsalted nuts (pecans or almonds with skin on)
1 teaspoon lemon juice (or juice one lemon)
1/2 to 2/3 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt

In a bowl, mix juice, salt and sugar. After this dissolves, add nuts.
Mix thoroughly (I use a fork) until nuts are coated.
On cookie sheet, spread the coated nuts. Bake at 120 C for 15 minutes or so- dry or brown to suit your taste.
When cool, store in sealed container (I reuse jars with screw lid).

Try this with a small amount, adjust to suit your taste and your oven.
