*To toast nuts, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until nuts begin to brown, then stirring constantly until nuts are light brown. To toast nuts in the oven, spread nuts in ungreased shallow pan. Bake at 350°F 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown.
