These can be served as a dessert with eggnog, vanilla ice cream or just
served salted as a snack.

1/4 cup butter or margarine
    salt to taste
  pinch ground cinnamon

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Cut a 1/2 inch crisscross on the flat side of each nut. Be sure to cut
through the shell to prevent the nut from exploding.
3. Place the nuts in a shallow baking pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
4. Allow to cool and peel off the shell.
5. Place nuts in a skillet with butter and saute over high heat until the
