Lyn I am so happy you enjoyed the shortbread as it is a favourite around here and I have butter softening on the bench at present as I'll make some later.
Re the nut recipes, one is in my head still (I will add it here) and is
approximately 8 cups mixed nuts, roasted Individually. I use cashews, almonds, Brazil, peanuts, walnuts, sunflower and pumpkin seeds.
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon chopped rosemary
2 teaspoons maple syrup.
olive oil
sea salt
I add the cayenne and rosemary to the nuts as they roast - whichever batch I decide to put it with and the maple syrup I drizzle over the cashew nuts when they come out of the oven. The oil I do the same with.
Then the whole lot are tossed together and sprinkled generously with sea salt.
I give these away as gifts and always have a jar on hand to serve with drinks.
The cinnamon candied nuts are here
the other one I mentioned was a Ruth Pretty recipe for spiced nuts.

Thanks Helen, I didn’t have rice flour for the shortbread so used cornflour instead, just as successful. Thanks for the nuts recipes will make & put into jars for family along with the shortbread & some other goodies as they are going camping with other families so will be perfect treats.

I was given this recipe on the back of an envelope so long ago I can't remember when!
It definitely brings lots of “yums” and sighs when people eat it.
So great for gift giving and people barter with me for a batch of it - haven't bought a high end magazine in years as one friend swaps 3 monthly magazines for shortbread - we both think we are on a win win!
