Pine Nuts

Also know as pignolia or pinon, the pine nut is the small seed from one of several pine tree varieties. They are small elongated ivory-colored nuts measuring about 3/8 inch long and having a soft texture and a buttery flavor. Frequently used in Italian dishes and sauces such as pesto, pine nuts are often toasted to enhance their flavor.

This was a great hit at my grandaughters graduation. I also added roasted sunflower kernels, sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds; dill weed, garlic powder and dry mustard.
