Sugared Walnuts

After this you won’t ever think of walnuts as just another nut!    So from one nut to another here is a recipe that you will want to keep handy……….

1 1/2 cups sugar sugar

1/2 cup water

1 teaspoon corn syrup

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon cloves

2 teaspoons cinnamon

4 cups walnut halves

Cook all ingredients except nuts to a soft ball stage (235 degrees) Add nuts stirring until coated and creamy.  Pour onto a cookie sheet, separate with a fork if necessary……enjoy every mouth watering handful!  This reindeer can was made from a #10 can!  I love it as a gift can, but it worked really well as a holder for our sugared nuts tonight!
