Nuts can be gently roasted at home by warming them in a fry pan until golden or placing them under the broiler for five minutes. They can also be placed on a baking sheet and placed in the hot oven for five to 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them; they can burn quickly. Toast and consume as required in order to reduce rancidity.

The smell of baked goods fills the house and adds to the excitement of the holiday season. Honey and nuts are favourite ingredients for Christmas baking--and no wonder, they provide both nutrients and taste. Remember to also use whole grain flours to ensure these treats are as nutritious as possible.
