Barbecued Walnuts

Perfect for holiday entertaining or gift giving. Recipe originally from The Nebraska Farmer in 1963.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Yields: 4 cups

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons butter
• 1⁄4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1  tablespoon ketchup
• 2  dashes Tabasco sauce
• 4  cups walnut halves
•  cooking spray
•  seasoning salt, such as Lawry's brand, to taste

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the butter in a medium-size microwave-safe bowl and microwave, on high and covered with a paper towel, until melted, about 45 seconds.
2. Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir in the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup and Tabasco sauce. Add the walnuts and stir until they are well-coated.
3. Spray a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with cooking oil spray, and spread the walnuts evenly in the dish. Bake, uncovered, and stirring every 5 minutes, until lightly toasted, about 20 minutes.
4. Remove pan from oven and pour nuts out onto 2 layers of paper towels. Sprinkle with seasoning salt. Cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes, and store in an airtight jar or tin for up to 3 weeks at room temperature.
5. TIP: These would probably freeze well too.
