Tips & Ideas:

To save time and money, I buy nuts in bulk. I set aside some whole ones for garnishes, then chop the rest and store in plastic containers in the refrigerator or freezer. When my favorite recipe calls for chopped nuts, all I have to do is pour them into a measuring cup. —Jane Lynn, Duncansville, Pennsylvania
