SIMPLE SWEET AND SAVORY SPICED WALNUTS



Simple Sweet and Savory Spiced Walnuts image

These are really simple and use much less butter than some. They are mildly sweet and mildly spicy---those who love super spicy will have to add cayenne, etc. They are a lovely complement to a glass of sherry or a cheese board to be served with wine. They are a great addition to salads and can be chopped and included in any number of sweet and savory pastries.

Time 20m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups walnut halves
1/4 cup brown sugar (dark or lite(may use more if you prefer the nuts sweeter)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
3 -4 roasted garlic cloves
1 tablespoon butter
