Great method of sugar glazing nuts, very easy and quick and really adheres to the nuts with all the pepper and lemon zest along with.

DEFINITELY A WINNING RECIPE in my book! Loved the use of the pepper & lemon! I made up these nuts just for us to munch on, & now realize they will be an absolutely great addition to the food counter during the several monthly groups I host ~ They'll love 'em! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my Vegetarian groupmates in the Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap #6]
