Homemade Roasted Salted Cashew Nuts

My husband loves roasted salted cashew nuts and I made this for Deepavali this year.  The preparation is quite easy but it does take like about an hour to bake and you need some time to air dry the cashew nuts after blanching it.  These roasted cashews are naturally sweet and just slightly salty even though the quantity of salt looks like a lot.  It is definitely batter than the store bought roasted cashews

Ingredients

2 lbs or 1 kg raw cashews
3 tablespoons sea salt
1 liter of water

Method

1.  Place the raw cashew nuts in a wide pot together with the salt
2.  Bring the water to a boil. Once the water comes to a boil, carefully pout it all over the 
     cashew nuts. Stir to dissolve the salt and close the pot.
3.  Leave the pot closed for about 15 minutes so that the cashew nuts absorb the salt.
4.  After about 15 minutes, drain the water from the cashews and place them on a towel. 
     Leave the blanched cashews under a fan or near a window to air dry the cashews.  It took
     me about 30 minutes to air dry my cashews under a fast fan.
5.  Preheat the oven to 300°F or 150°C.
6.  Once the cashews are dry, place them in a baking sheet and level them evenly on the 
      baking sheet. 
7.  Bake the cashews for about 1 hour or so or until the cashews have turned golden brown.           Make sure to stir the cashews around in the baking sheet every 10 minutes to ensure that 
      the cashews are evenly baked. 
8.  Store in an air tight container.
