Cook's Tips:
Store Harvest Spiced Nuts in a tightly covered container at room temperature.
These nuts are a delicious topping for scoops of ice cream, especially ice cream that's on top of apple pie. Or, add to a dollop of whipped cream on pumpkin pie.
Substitute pumpkin pie spice for Cinnamon Plus® Spice Blend, if desired.
