Rckcrwlr's got his nuts in a sling???

I know what you are thinking but really...

I got some nuts and some ham cloth and will be slinging them in the rack to keep them from falling through.

Now the first thing I did was buy some Cashews and Pistachios.

Wanting to make Blazing Pistachios...I sat down and shelled all the Pistachios. After that, I read the recipe and it said, keep the shells on. :-[

So right now, I am trying to find the match of each shell half and gluing them back together...

More to come...

I like them better with the shell on cause you can lick the goodness off the shell after the nut is gone. Plus I'm not the one having to shell all the nuts. :)
But others do them shelled. They will be good either way. Glue and all. ;D ;D

So here we go...

I picked up two bags of Cashews and one bag of Pistachios.

So let's start with the Cashews.

First thing I thought of was my friends at Oakridge BBQ...Yes...Death Dust Cashews

I started with 4 TBLS of Unsalted Butter melted in a pan. Added 2 TSP of L&P and 2 TSP of Dust. Let it cook down some.

Poured them over the cashews and started tumbling them. I would suggest that you add the nuts to the pot due to the container being cold and it made it harder to get them coated.

Getting some Ham Cloth from my butcher made it easy to do. I just opened the cloth and slid it over the rack. This ensured that the nuts would stay on the rack.

Next came the Pistachios. Was planning on doing Blazing but didn't have all the ingredients so I looked around and found some Srarachi Chili Sauce. So I melted some butter and added 2 TBLS of this wonderful sauce.

Tossed them around and there was some beautiful color on this things...

The last bag of Cashews were claimed by my daughter that does not like hot stuff so I made her a little Butter/L&P and Brown Sugar Cashews

Of course I salted all of these when I put them on the rack.

Into the smoker for two hours of Hickory and 200 degrees...last hour I shut it down and let it hold the temp and slowly cool down.

Here is a before...

And here they are...

Letting them cool down and then will place them in plastic containers for the Stillers/Brauns Game on New Years Day... I hope they last.

I think it is the best of all of them... You enjoy the Cashew and then once it's gone...a little surprise starts creeping up on you. I have more fun with letting people try them.

Here is how it goes: Oh man, these are good, they're not hot. Can I have some.......wow the burn is starting.....Oh my...it's up in my nose....will it stop..........that was awesome, give me some more.
