1. Roast pine nuts until golden - this can be accomplished either in a dry pan over medium heat on the stove top, keeping a close eye on it and shaking the pan to prevent nuts from burning, about 5 minutes OR place pine nuts on a baking sheet in a pre-heated 400 degree oven for about 5 - 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
