Smoked Nut Mix

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 0.5 tsp liquid smoke
• 3-4 fresh sprigs of rosemary
• 1 clove garlic, crush
• 0.5 cup almonds
• 1 tbsp. pecan halves
• 1 cup walnut halves
• 0.5 cups dried cranberries

Preparation:

1. Flavor the oil:
   
   In a large skillet over medium-low heat, heat the olive oil, add the liquid smoke, rosemary, and garlic. Cook until the oil is fragrant and the rosemary is crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer the rosemary to a paper towel-lined plate. Remove and discard the garlic.
2. Roast the nuts:
   
   First, add the almonds to the pan and stir to coat them with oil. Toast for 4-5 minutes.
3. Add the pecans and toast for 4-5 minutes. Finally, add the walnuts and toast for another 5 minutes. Each nut takes different amounts of time to toast, so add them in that order.
4. Add the cranberries to the nut mixture, season with salt and pepper. Add the rosemary, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the mixture to a bowl. Serve the nuts warm or let cool.
