Smoked almonds - time and temp

[imurhuckleberry]

Some of the research I have done suggests 4 hours at 200 degrees?  Stirring once at the two hour mark.  Does this sound correct?  Just want to make sure I am not over-doing it.

Thanks!

Ok, did a little research and answered my own question.  Looks like a few people here were doing 90 minutes.

Yup, about 200~ degrees for 90 minutes is perfect.  I typically stir the nuts once every 30 min.

What do you do to them before putting on the smoke? Anything?

I have a "rub" of sorts that I apply and make stick by using a bit of Worcestershire sauce ;-) that is if I'm making spiced or savory almonds. If I'm going the sweet rout.....say with pecans I use a sweeter mix of spices.

Good thing is u can experiment and get a taste u love. I do mine for about 90 min at 200F as well. I make several batches....put them in Mason jars and vacuum seal them. Yummy treats.

Try this one.  I've made it a dozen times and they are always a hit.
