Ingredients:

  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 4 oz walnuts (about 1 heaping cup; don'tsp use pieces)

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a medium sized bowl, mix together the sugar, cayenne and salt.
  3. Bring a small saucepan of water to boil. Add the walnuts and blanch them for 3 minutes. Drain well and then immediately roll the walnuts in the sugar mixture until thoroughly coated. The sugar will melt slightly. Transfer the walnuts to a baking sheet or pan and bake, stirring occasionally, until they are a deep golden brown, about 10 minutes. Watch carefully because the sugar can burn easily. Let cool completely before serving.
