Ingredients:

  • 2 cups sugar (or honey)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup acorn

Directions:

  1. IF you are using raw acorns you will need to prepare them first. To do so put the acorns into a pot with enough water to cover. Bring the water to a boil, then drain. Repeat 3 times or till the bitterness is gone (the water should be clear). Once you have leached the nuts, dry them on a cookie sheet in a low oven (about 200°F) for 2 or 3 hours - till the nuts become brittle. Remove from the oven and cool.
  2. Mix sugar in water until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil.
  3. Dip the prepared acorn meats into boiling syrup.
  4. Thoroughly dry them on a greased pan.
  5. For variations you can use cinnamon, chili powder, ginger, or other spices. Add this after you dissolve the sugar but before you bring it to a boil.
