These walnuts are great to serve to you guests at a party...the combination of sweet and salty is a different taste from the regular spiced or sweet nuts...I think you will really go for these...make lots of these, cause you will need them...they go fast! Note: these nuts will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week, also, try to use only lard if you can for stir-frying the nuts, as it produces better results. Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup water |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
4 1/2 cups halved shelled walnuts (1 pound) |
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon white pepper |
1/2 cup lard or 1/2 cup vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, bring sugar, water, and salt to a boil over high heat; boil for 2 minutes.
2. Pour into large bowl; add walnuts, cinnamon and pepper; stirring to mix.
3. Let stand 3 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, in wok or skillet, heat lard over med-high heat.
5. Stir fry walnut mixture until slightly darkened, about 3-5 minutes.
6. Drain in metal colander; discard oil.
7. Spread on baking sheet; let cool to room temperature.
8. ENJOY!
