How to Roast small quantities of New Mexico Pinon Nuts

MICROWAVE

MICROWAVE: After washing and salting the pine nuts (salt always optional) place 1/4 cup of Pinon nuts in a paper bag with the end closed. Cook one minute. When you take out a sample and it is translucent, stop... and wait one minute - the nuts will continue cooking after you remove them from the microwave from the inside out. (If the nuts have not started to turn creamy - put them back in the microwave for 15 seconds at a time. You can always put them back in a little bit more if you are not satisfied... but you can't do anything if you have already burned the pine nuts). Times vary because of differing microwave strengths. The main rule is "when the aroma starts, begin to taste and color test" When the sample changes from white and begins to become translucent, I cook for one minute more and take then sit at the table and keep testing.

Practice the small amount method until you understand the process enough to be daring to roast more..

PLEASE BE AWARE OF WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. New Mexico vendors are regulated as to what we sell, so we can not bait and switch and sell you Nevada pinyon, a much less expensive variety.
