Description
I am always asked to bring these walnuts whenever we have a get together with family or friends. They are perfect on tables at a bridal or baby shower, and no one can ever figure out how they are made. Very addicting!
Ingredients
- 1 pound shelled walnuts
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- vegetable oil for frying
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Place walnuts in a medium stock pot. Cover with water and boil for 2 minutes. Strain
- but do not rinse. Transfer to a bowl
- and toss with sugar while still hot until well coated.
- Heat 3 inches of oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. When oil appears to shimmer
- fry 1 nut to test for heat. Nut should begin to sizzle immediately. Fry 1/3 batch of nuts at a time for 4 to 5 minutes uncovered. Toss nuts before each batch
- and repeat. Using a slotted spoon
- transfer each batch to a cookie sheet to cool. Season to taste with salt
- and break apart when cool.
