1 c. hazelnuts
1 1/2 c. almonds
1 1/2 c. English walnuts
1 1/2 c. pecans
5 tbsp. salt
2 oz. liquid smoke (Wrights, Reese, etc.)
2 c. warm water

Dissolve salt in water and liquid smoke mixture. Place nuts in shallow glass baking dish and pour water, smoke, salt mixture over. Wet thoroughly and soak 1 hour, stir occasionally.

Drain liquids from foul smelling, salty, nasty looking nuts and air dry for 1 hour. Microwave 13 minutes on high, stirring after 8 minutes and every 2 minutes thereafter.

Remove and let cool completely before placing in closed container. Adjust cooking time proportionally if amounts are reduced or increased.
