Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 48 hours
Total time: 48 hours 5 mins
Ingredients
  • 5 lbs. raw whole cashews
  • 2-1/2 c. fresh lemon juice
  • 3-4 T. lemon zest
  • 2 T. sea salt
  • ¼ c. chopped fresh dill (~one small bunch)
Instructions
  1. Place cashews in a large bowl and cover with water. Soak for 4-8 hours.
  2. Drain water from cashews. Stir in lemon juice, zest, salt and dill. Cover and refrigerate overnight, allowing nuts to marinate 10-12 hours.
  3. Drain liquid off, then spread nuts in single layers onto dehydrator racks. Dry at 110-120 degrees F, stirring intermittently, for 48 hours or until nuts are crispy. Store in jars or airtight containers.
  4. (To dry in an oven, spread nuts on baking sheets in a single layer and bake at the oven's lowest setting. Stir intermittently. Time needed will depend on the temperature, so keep watch and bake until nuts are dry and crispy.)
