Ingredients:

  • 2 cups walnuts (i used hazelnut halves because i didn'tsp have enough on hand) or 2 cups hazelnuts (i used hazelnut halves because i didn'tsp have enough on hand)
  • 1 cup unbleached sugar (reduced from 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp dried provence lavender

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Spread the walnuts on parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake 5-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Alternatively, the nuts can be lightly toasted in a skillet on the range.
  3. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar, water, cinnamon and salt.
  4. (After testing this recipe the thought ran through my head of using half of a cinnamon stick. fyi).
  5. Over medium heat boil the mixture *without* stirring until it reaches 238 degrees (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer. Be careful with this step as the sugar syrup is very hot and will burn your skin!
  6. Remove pan from heat and stir in the lavender, rosemary and walnuts.
  7. Using a buttered spatula, quickly stir until all nuts are coated.
  8. Transfer the walnuts to the cookie sheet and spread them singly in an even layer, separating the mixture using the buttered spatula.
  9. Cool.
  10. Store in an airtight container or in a Ziploc-type plastic bag in the refrigerator or freezer.
