Do a search, there is a grate recipe that I use and have had perfect results with. Use at least 1# of salted nuts, any less and you will finish them before they even cool!

I personally like maple coated pecans better than peanuts. Just use pint of syrup for 2 lbs of nuts. Trust me you are gonna want 2 lbs. Bring syrup temp to 32 degrees farenheight above the temp of where water boils. Let the syrup sit for 5 minutes, pour over nuts and stir it in until the shine is gone, only takes a few minutes. Oh yeah use a wooden spoon you will probably break a plastic one as it is pretty hard to stir. Put them on a cookie sheet for awhile too air out and dry. If you seal them up in a container right after you will see condensation build up in the container.

I have a weird idea I want to try. You take the seeds from a silver maple and shell them out and boil them a few minutes and then roast them and then coat them with maple. I have a survival manual that says maple seeds are good eating roasted. That and keep the stupid seeds out of the eaves trough for a change.

Ken you sure that survival manual was not published by terrorist? Hey give it a shot and let us know. I gotta imagine it will take about a year too get enough shelled to try.

The seeds are about the size of a garden pea on my trees. Just they are oval shaped. The book was wrote by a Yank what can I say and it was printed in 1982 when you were just a kid.

Ken those are some pretty big seeds. Have you ever tried them before? I can imagine a bitter flavor to them, maybe the syrup would be the right ticket, and I am still just a kid but my body begs to differ on that one.
