   Scatter pine nuts in a pie plate nd bake in a 350 degree oven until golden,
   4-6 minutes. Pour toasted nuts into a food processor along with the garlic,
   shallots, parsley, chives, lemon juice, brandy and pepper; whirl until
   finely chopped. Slowly add the butter and pulse until just blended; bits of
   all the ingredients should still be visible. Shuck oysters and discard top
   shells. Nestle oysters, in their bottom shells, in a 1/2 inch layer of rock
   salt in a baking pan or shallow oven-proof dish. Spoon about 1 teaspoon
   butter on top of each oyster (freeze leftover butter) Bake oysters in a 375
   degree oven until they become firm and butter melts, 8-10 minutes.
