Did a double batch of Seemores 'Blazen Pistachios' but made a few changes. :D
I wanted to spice them up a bit. ;D
For two pounds of pistachios I used:
2 T melted butter
6 T liquid from pickled jalapenos
6 T Frank's X-Hot cayenne sauce
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
2 tsp Soileau's seasoning (Thanks Pat)
All mixed and into a 250 degree F smoker with smoke still rolling from the cheese smoke this morning.

Ready to come out after an hour or so, I did mix them a couple times during the smoke.

If they crisp up when cooled they will be really good. I had to try a few out of the smoker, still hot.
Finger lickin good. :D
Nice Greg! where did you get the basket?
QuoteNice Greg! where did you get the basket?
Its a secret. ;) ;D
I picked it up at either Wally World or K-Mart. I found it in the office supply area. It is aluminum and HAD rubber feet on it. I peeled the feet off and it works great. Since its aluminum I just toss it in the dishwasher with the racks. :)
Thanks, I have seen them in the office supply section.... just never thought about using it for the smoker.
I saw a set today at Costco - it had a basket like that and then had a saucepan shaped one with the mesh & a cover for the saucepan. It was 39.99 so I passed.
This one was only a few dollars. Can't remember exactly but it was fairly cheap.
Dang, Pens... That's BRILLIANT!
After cooling they were not as crisp as I liked so I put them into the dehydrator for a couple hours. Now they are great. :)
Great Idea on the basket! And nice nuts :D
I love this forum!!!
Where else can a guy tell another guy..."Nice nuts"..."Your nuts look great"..."Your nuts really taste delicious"...and no one steps away from him!!! ;D :) ;D

I have also had a lot of people tell me I AM NUTS. Now where did they come up with that idea? ;) ::)
Looks great!
I have gotta try these someday, I love pistachios but hate the price tag.

Pensrock they do look great and I am going to have to try them. In Arabic, Pistachios are called Aleppo Nuts (supposably where the nut originated) and that is where I am now. I will make sure to pick up few pounds before heading home and try that with your and Seemore recipes.

Hady, you will love these. :)
This place is just nuts!!! :D :D :D
That Soileau's kicks it up just right. I can't seem to keep enough Pistachios around the house anymore.
I tried almonds with this recipe also. YUMMY!!! :P ;D
