Barbecued Walnuts

Barbecued Walnuts

5 minutes prep, 20 min baking time, 20 min cooling time.

Makes 4 cups.

 

2 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon ketchup

2 dashes Tabasco sauce

4 cups walnut halves

Cooking oil spray

Seasoned salt, such as Lawry's brand, to taste

 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Place the butter in a medium-size microwave-safe mixing bowl. Cover with a paper towel and microwave on high until melted, about 45 seconds.

Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir in the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup and Tabasco sauce. Add the walnuts and stir until they are well-coated.

Spray a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with cooking oil spray, and spread the walnuts evenly in the dish. Bake, uncovered, stirring every 5 minutes until lightly toasted, about 20 minutes.

Remove the pan from the oven and pour the walnuts out onto 2 layers of paper towels. Sprinkle with seasoning salt to taste. Cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes, and store in an airtight container, preferably a jar or tin, for up to 3 weeks at room temperature.
