My temporarily Glaswegian cow orker became a vegetarian, not for ethical reasons, but because of her fear of mad cow, and horror at discovering some of the food safety practices there (which are probably equivalent to ours, they just don't let us see them).

We had a turkey which was enough for about 5 of us to have some and then a bit left over for a sandwich the next day. It was a free range organic one and very good I have to say. Didn't cost more than a dollar or so more per KG either, so well worth the effort.

Here's a close up of our ham which I baked with cloves and red currant jelly.

And here's one with the ham and the turkey (left) As you can see, it's not too big, but big enough.

1 lb walnut halves (4 cups)
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 T corn oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/4 tsps cumin
1/4 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp chili powder

Preheat oven to 325 F. Blanch walnuts in boiling water for 1 minute and
drain well. While still hot, put in a bowl and toss with the sugar and
corn oil. Let stand 10 minutes. Arrange in single layer on a rimmed
baking tray. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, turning every 5-10 minutes. When
nuts are browned and crispy, put them into a bowl. Combine seasonings
and toss with the still warm nuts. Spread nuts in a single layer to
cool completely. Store in an air tight container.

I'm going to make a batch of these this year!

Heh... those nuts are what I gave to all of Minifob's teachers for Christmas this year. And shockingly, I made too much and just had to keep the leftovers for myself.

I was a bit doubtful about all that sugar, but can assure you all that the end result is entirely satisfactory (what a shame my husband doesn't like nuts .. ;))!
