Candied Walnuts


This recipe could not be simpler...

Ingredients:
2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts (you can substitute pecans if you prefer)
2 cups sugar

Butter a baking sheet, set aside. In a medium-size skillet over medium high heat, with a wooden spoon, stir sugar until it melts and turns into a golden syrup (careful because if it turns brown it is burnt and will taste bitter). Add nuts to hot syrup, stirring until nuts are well coated. Pour in a prepared pan to cool. When completely cool, break into pieces. Store in an airtight container.

MY TIP: This recipe is versatile-- adds a nice crunch to a fall or winter salad or can be used to top ice cream.
