cups pine nuts

/ cup raspberry liqueur

tablespoon raspberry flavoring/extract

don't burn Toast until the nuts are nicely tan and fragrant about minutes total

Add the raspberry liqueur and raspberry flavoring and stir Cook minute Add agave stir and cook another

minute (these liquids should be evaporating quite quickly) Add the sugar stir and cook another minutes until

the nuts are pretty dry Remove from heat and let cool If the nuts are very sticky and the glaze will not "dry"

you can place the nuts in the refrigerator (on a parchment paper covered baking sheet) to "dry/"freeze" the glaze

onto the nuts

ground and put into cake or cookie batters

VARIATIONS:

Use other types of nuts such as pecans walnuts or almonds with other types of liqueurs/flavorings such as

mandarin orange liqueur/orange extract or banana liqueur/banana flavoring

If you want the nuts to stick together you could use brown rice syrup instead of maple syrup and this will make a

very sticky "nut brittle"
