                       -New Basic's CB
  2       tb           Unsalted butter
  1       tb           Worcestershire sauce
    1/4   ts           Ground cumin
    1/2   ts           Celery salt
    1/2   ts           Garlic powder
    1/8   ts           Cayenne pepper
    1/2   ts           Seasoned salt
  1 1/2   c            Mixed unsalted roasted
                       -nuts
  1       tb           Coarse (kosher) salt

 1 1/2 cups

  1. Preheat oven to 325_F.

  2. Melt the butter in a medium-size saucepan over low
 heat. Add the remaining ingredients excepts the nuts
 and coarse salt. Simmer over low heat for several
 minutes to combine flavors.

  3. Add the nuts and stir until evenly coated. Spread
 on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes,
 shaking the pan occasionally.

  4. Toss the nuts with the coarse salt and let cool.
 Store in an airtight container.

  Adding a little spice just before a meal begins is an
 excellent way to stimulate the taste buds and whet the
 appetite. We love this recipe made with one favorite
 nut or a combination of many. We often warm them just
 a bit in the oven before serving in a ceramic crock,
 an antique basket, or an art deco silver bowl.
