Roasted Rosemary Walnuts

sidMILB's Note:

I found this on ChowHound and posted it for RecipeZaar's conversion tools. "Nuts and booze are a tried-and-true combination for any happy hour or cocktail party. Here the addition of rosemary and black pepper classes up the combo without getting too fussy. These nuts will last up to 10 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature."
