Holiday Cashews, One recipe is Savory and the other is Sweet.

I have plenty of recipes for Salty, Savory, Sweet Spicy and Bar Nuts. I dedicated an entire post to Nuts. You can search, I'm Nuts about Nuts on the Blog.
Here are 2 more favorites to serve at your Christmas Party of whenever you have guests over during the Holidays.

Sage Cashews.

1 pound of Unsalted Cashews, roasted.
2 TBS Butter
2 TBS Finely Chopped Fresh Sage Leaves
1 tsp Honey
1 tsp Sea Salt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Line a Sheet Pan with Parchment Paper.
Spread out the cashews in a single layer and bake for 5 - 8 minutes.

In a large skillet, on medium heat:
Melt the Butter.
Cook it 2 - 3 minutes longer, stirring constantly, until it begins to turn golden brown.

Sage and continue stirring for another 2 minutes.
Remove from heat.
