These are spicy nuts, for those who prefer that to the sweeter nut mixes. Makes 6 8-ounce jars. I love spice so they suit me

I scaled this back to 1/2lb almonds (using 200g just under the half) and because the marinade mix was so little I used the mortar and pestle and then threw in the almonds to marinate for their 30 minutes but I had to take my oven (fan forced) back to 125 degree C (from the equivelent 150C/300F) and they only needed a final 15 minutes and they are deliciously spicy and oh so moorish (hard to stop at a few) and so much better than the commercial spicy nuts and work out cheaper to make my own. Thank you MarraMamba for a wonderful recipe. Made for Newest ZAAR Tag 08A.
