I have made this recipe numerous times for holidays, parties, snacking, etc. and it is always very popular. I've been asked for the recipe many times.

 Here is another quick, delicious variation for roasted cashews.  It was NOT my original recipe...can't remember now where I got it, but enjoy:

ROSEMARY CASHEWS

1 1/4 pounds cashew nuts
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon melted butter

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Place the nuts on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes until they are warmed through and lightly browned. Meanwhile, combine the rosemary, pepper, sugar, salt and butter in a large bowl. Toss the warm nuts with the rosemary mixture until the nuts are completely coated. Serve warm.
