Slapilicious Smoked Nuts with Rosemary Butter

Special equipment: You will need a barbecue pit, a large aluminum foil roasting pan and a tennis-ball sized apple wood chunk.

Heat your barbecue pit to 350 F. Add the tennis ball-sized apple wood chunk. Put nuts into the foil pan and smoke in the pit for 15 minutes or until they are golden brown Stir once during the smoking process.

Combine the brown sugar, SYD rub, butter, rosemary, ginger and cayenne in a bowl. Toss the mixture with the smoked nuts when you remove them from the pit. Serve immediately.

For my Slap-Yo-Daddy rub: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Store leftovers in a sealed container.
