County Fair Grilled Sweet And Spicy Nuts

Prepare low heat for indirect grilling.

For Sweet: In a 9- by 9-inch heavy-gauge foil pan, evenly spread the pumpkin seeds and almonds evenly.

Grill, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes or until the nuts are fragrant and lightly toasted. Remove the pan from the grill.

In a small bowl combine the remaining sweet nut crunch ingredients and mix well. Drizzle the mixture over the nuts and toss to coat evenly.

Return the pan to the grill and grill for 20 to 25 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Remove from the grill.

Allow the nuts to cool in the pan for 1 hour. Break into bite-sized pieces. If not serving immediately, store in an airtight container.

For Spicy: In a 9-by 13-inch foil pan, evenly spread the pumpkin seeds and almonds evenly. Grill, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes or until the nuts are fragrant and lightly toasted. Remove the pan from the grill and add the peanuts.

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining spicy nut ingredients. Drizzle the mixture over the nuts and toss to coat evenly. Return the pan to the grill and grill over indirect low heat for 5 to 7 minutes more, stirring once or twice.

Remove from the grill and spoon nuts onto paper towels. Allow to cool. If not serving immediately, store in an airtight container.

Serve the nut mixtures in separate bowls.
