Four racks of nuts for Christmas. Peanuts, pecans, brazils. Bulk food store buy, raw and no salt. Package on the peanuts actually said, don’t eat without cooking.
I did a batch UNBRINED (lower rack) and the peanuts were much better that way. Other two varieties were better with the brine.
Cherry wood, 225 for 4 hours. Let cool.
EVOO and your favorite rib or chicken rub.
We used Oakridge brine and Chicken season for these nuts. Nice sugar content which didn’t burn. Almost a caramel taste?
Recommended, family and 3 year old approved!
Merry Christmas everyone.
PS, brined the nuts for about 4 each in separate zip locks.
