Maple Candied Walnuts


I just couldn't let this beautiful summer go by without sharing at least one new recipe on my blog.
So today's recipe is a simple maple candied walnut recipe that is my favorite flavor combination; salty and sweet!  They're delicious sprinkled on a salad, and make a great little snack too.
Enjoy!


Maple Candied Walnuts

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups walnuts
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt

Instructions:

  1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat.  This step will help caramelize the walnuts properly.
  3. Add walnuts, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt to the pan.
  4. Stir constantly for about 5 minutes, until walnuts are carmelized.  There should be no liquid left in the pan.
  5. Spoon walnuts evenly onto parchment-lined pan.  The caramelized syrup will harden as it cools.  Sprinkle with more salt, to taste.
  6. Let cool for 2 hours before placing in an airtight container.
