Crisp Sugared Walnuts
from: Recipes-ExchangeIngredients
* 4 cups Water
* 2 cups Walnuts
* 6 tbsps Sugar
* 1/4 tsp Salt
* 1 tbsp Peanut or corn oil
Preparation
Traditionally, these crispy sweet walnuts are served as a "starter" appetizer to a Chinese banquet dinner to tease the palate before the first entree. They make wonderful snacks or a perfect cocktail food.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Bring a pot of water to a full boil.
Add walnuts, remove from heat and set aside for 3 minutes. Drain walnuts and pat dry.
While nuts are hot, toss evenly with sugar and salt to coat. Add oil and mix thoroughly.
Spread nuts in 1 layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. Allow the nuts to dry for an hour or until their surface is thoroughly dry. Bake, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove and serve. Store in an airtight container. They will keep for several weeks.
