Frequently Asked Questions

How long will spiced nuts keep?

Store spiced nuts in an airtight container such as a plastic food container, a zippered plastic bag, or a mason jar with a tight fitting lid.  When properly stored, they will keep for up to 2 weeks.  Although, they never go that long without being eaten at my house.  They are the perfect make a head gift for your holiday party because they keep so well.

    Excellent worthwhile considering the cost of nuts in Canada.
    Just sweet enough & salty —— go for it if your considering doing a spiced pecan.

    You won’t be disappointed !
