Awww nuts!

[SMOKE FREAK]

Hey! Its nearly 40 degrees outside so I decided to scrape the snow off of Rusty and smoke some nuts.


I guess now we know why she's rusty, eh.


A pound of almonds done similar to Dawns recipie but with the addition of some dried hot peppers to the brine. And a pound of pecans with a butter and spice coating. Ill post the recipie if anyone wants to see it. Smoked with hickory. There's nothing better than the smell of hickory on a crisp winter day.


About an hour and a half and the pecans were done.


Another half hour and the almonds were ready to come in. By that time the pecans were almost gone.


This was just a trial run. Especially on the pecans. First try for them. We'll give these away at Christmas so I gotta perfect the process. Dang I love the experimenting...

Thanks Alex. When my family gobbled up the pecans so fast, well thats all the points I needed.

They both look delicious. I have to do more almonds soon, they disappear quick. I'd be interested in your pecan recipe too.

Smoke the almonds I assume ya mean? Mmm I like it bud! I LOVE almond brittle. What's the Heath toffy? That would be good with a hint of smoke too!
