The perfect sweet & salty snack! 

Ingredients

• 2 1\/2 cups fresh walnut halves
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh rosemary leaves
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt or flakey sea salt
• 1\/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 2-3 ounces Chukar® dried cherries (select from Cherry Medley, Bings, Rainiers, Tarts)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Place walnuts in a medium bowl, drizzle with butter, toss well to evenly coat the nuts. Add rosemary, salt, pepper, and toss to evenly mix.
Spread nuts out on a baking pan. Bake 12 to 14 minutes, stirring a few times until the nuts are just lightly browned, being careful not to burn.
Transfer nuts to medium bowl and add Chukar® dried cherries. Toss to mix. Add Kosher salt to taste.
Let cool, then transfer to a serving bowl or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
