I had purchased some mighty fine raw pecans from a certain crazy eyed squirrel last fall and decided it was about time I smoked em up!
I also added some extra mixed nuts and some large cashews to the load. I decided I would try some various flavors I've been thinking of trying and a few others that were off the cuff. Just to see what ones I would like.
I had seen another post where someone had soaked their nuts in a salt brine to add the saltiness, so I thought I would give it a try.
1.5 cups kosher salt
4 cups warm water
mix these well to dissolve the salt( till the water turns clear again)
add 4 more cups of cold water and pour over nuts in a large plastic container to soak.
note: I soaked these overnight because it was 11:30pm when I did this...in hind sight 2-3 hours would have probably been long enough. The cashews really soaked up the water and were kinda mushy.

Squirrel even sent them vacum packed....I thought they buried them?

These are some extra roasted and salted cashews I had so I thought I would try to put some smoke on them...no extra ingredients.
