Ingredients:  
4 T. butter
1/3 c. pure maple syrup
6 quarter-sized slices fresh ginger, halved
1 T. water
1 tsp. Ground ginger
1 tsp. Salt

Directions:
Preheat oven 300 – line a baking sheet with foil.
Combine butter, syrup, ginger, water, ground ginger, salt and Tabasco in saucepan and simmer over low heat for 2-3 minutes. Place nuts in a bowl, pour the glaze over them and toss well to coat. Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared sheet and bake 30-40 minutes, stirring at 15 minute intervals, until nuts are light and almost dry when you toss them. Slide the foil off the baking sheet and onto a rack to cool the nuts completely.

Assemble truffles; place goat cheese in a bowl and stir in a generous pinch each of salt & pepper. Roll the cheese into 24 small balls. Roll the balls in the finely chopped nuts. Place the Arugula on a platter and top with the coated truffles.
Yield: 24 Nuts can be stored in airtight containers at room temp or in the freezer for up to one month.
