- In a bowl whisk together the spices, salt and pepper.
- Stir in the brown sugar, oil and walnut pieces.
- Mix together until the nuts are evenly coated.
- Spread the nut mixture on a parchment lined rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake for about 10-15 minutes, stirring the nuts occasionally while baking to brown evenly.
- Set nuts aside to cool completely then toss them with the dried tart cherries.
- Use an airtight covered container to store.
