Description
A delicious recipe for sweetened walnuts, perfect for adding to salads or as a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, both packed
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (divided)
Instructions
- Prep. Line a large plate or sheet pan with parchment paper and have it ready.
- Cook. Add all the ingredients (saving some of the salt for topping) to a medium nonstick skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring every minute. As the liquid cooks off, stir constantly until all the moisture evaporates and the walnuts start to clump together, turn glossier and slightly darker in color. Don’t let them brown too much.
- Cool. Immediately transfer the nuts to the parchment-lined plate, and spread them into a single layer. Sprinkle the reserved salt evenly on top, let them cool completely, then break them apart with your fingers. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Do not use dark brown sugar for this recipe.
