These were the batch of cashews I smoked last night for Christmas gifts and munching. I used three different spice mixtures on these cashews. First, I did tenpoint5's recipe, using butter, Worcestershire, tobasco, and Carolina gold as the barbeque sauce. They turned out really well.
10.5

Next I used the melted butter, Worcestershire, and Jan's rub (these were awesome)

The last batch was a recipe I saw NePa smoker post using pistachio's which I inaccurately labeled as kicked up. I mixed chili powder, cumin, cayene, ground coriander and paprika. Then I added this mix to cashew's that had been treated with Worcester, and melted butter.

These cashew's stayed on the bottom rack for too long and got a little burnt, but they are ok.
Overall, the Jan's rub was THE BEST!
I love smoked cashews....looks good from here. Will have to try Jan's rub next time.( just made a fresh batch tonight :) )
They all look good even though the last batch got a little dark. You can always save them for the cook!
