Sweet and Spicy Nuts

This might make it into my holiday baking plan.  Something different.

1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. ground chipotle powder
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
3 tbsp. unsalted pepper
1 C. shelled walnuts
1 C. pecan halves
1/4 C. packed brown sugar
1 tbsp. water
1 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Dash Louisiana hot sauce

In a small bowl, combine the salt and spices; set aside.  In a large heavy skillet, melt butter.  Add the walnuts and pecans; cook over medium heat until nuts are toasted, about 4 minutes.

Sprinkle with spice mixture.  Add the brown sugar, water, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce.  Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until sugar is melted.  Spread on foil to cool.  Store in airtight container.
