SWEET AND SAVORY NUTS AND PRETZELS

[Guest guest]

Makes: 6 cups

This tasty snack is particularly nice to have on hand for guests to

munch on during the winter holidays.

 

2 to 3 tablespoons soy sauce, to taste

3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

2 cups shelled nuts (a mixture of peanuts, cashews, and almonds)

4 cups small, salt-free pretzels

 

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.

Combine the first 4 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the

nuts and toss to coat them evenly. Spread on a non-stick baking sheet

and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the

coating is fairly dry.

Let cool, and then break apart any nuts that have clumped together.

Mix in the pretzels and store in jars until needed.
