Savory Herbed Glazed Nuts

During the holidays I like to prepare this snack as special treat for family and friends. It is crunchy with a sweet and peppery flavor. The ingredient, egg white coats the nuts beautifully and gives it a nice shine. You can use any variety of raw nuts and serve with some dried fruits for color. Better yet--share the joy with this heartfelt gift from the kitchen to your love ones. Bon Appétit!
