Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) jar apricot preserves

  • ¼ cup prepared Dijon-style mustard

  • 1 teaspoon curry powder

  • 1 cup coarsely chopped cashews

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Combine the preserves, mustard and curry powder in a large skillet and heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until preserves are completely melted and smooth.
