Chef's Notes

In lieu of fresh herbs, use dried ones (1/2 teaspoon of each). Store cool nuts airtight up to 3 days at room temperature or 1 month in the freezer.

Fourth year in a row I have made these for dinner parties and for gifts. Love 'em. This year I did a number of batches. Tired the fresh herb route and also dried. Frankly, prefer dried to fresh. And, to make things even simpler, I just use pre-mixed Herbs de Provence. I double the cayenne amount, btw. Always a hit. Serve 'em warm.

This is a WONDERFUL recipe; rich and warm and perfect for the holidays, especially Thanksgiving. I do use dried savory but the rest of the herbs are pretty easy to find and can be used in the stuffing! I have made this receipe every year since it was first published and each year, the nuts disappear in a flash. Easy to make, and well worth the effort to find the fresh herbs and variety of nuts.
