How can I use spices and herbs and what is the shelf life?
Spices and herbs can be used dried or fresh. Dried spices and herbs are more concentrated in flavor
than fresh. A general rule is that 1 teaspoon of dried spices or herbs equals one tablespoon fresh.
General shelf-life for dried spices and herbs is 1-2 years. Expect fresh herbs to last about 7 days.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 250° F. Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and paprika in bowl and set aside. Place almonds,
oats, pecans, pepitas and pistachios in large bowl. Add thawed apple juice concentrate; toss until nuts are
evenly coated. Sprinkle with spices; toss to coat well. Spread evenly on two, 15x10x1 inch baking pans. Bake
30 minutes or until the mixture starts turning brown. Stir the mixtures a few times during cooking. Cool
completely on wire rack. Stir in cherries and raisins. Store in an airtight container.
