7 ingredients
9 steps

Ingredients

  • 16 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • 1 c. mayonnaise
  • 12 oz. diced pimentos
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. celery seed
  • salt and pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    Weigh nuts and place them in a baking pan.
  2. 2
    Melt 1/3 stick of margarine for each pound of nuts.
  3. 3
    Add a very small amount of salt since the margarine contains salt.
  4. 4
    (Since the nuts are a little greasy, more salt can be added after nuts are roasted.)
  5. 5
    Pour the margarine mixture into the pan of nuts and stir thoroughly before placing in the oven.
  6. 6
    Place nuts in the oven; turn control to 300°. Do not open oven at any time and do not stir nuts.
  7. 7
    When temperature reaches 300° (light goes off), turn oven off.
  8. 8
    Still leaving the oven closed, allow nuts to remain for another 20 minutes before removing.
  9. 9
    Nuts will not seem roasted when you first remove them, but probably will please you after they are completely cool.
