Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 tablespoons instant coffee crystals
  • 3 cups hot water
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup walnuts, in pieces (I have used pecans, too)

Method

  • In a heavy 10" skillet, melt the sugar slowly over low heat until golden in colour, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  • Dissolve coffee crystals in hot water. Slowly stir into melted sugar. Heat over low heat until the sugar re-dissolves.
  • Combine cold water and cornstarch. Stir into the sugar mixture. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more, then stir in the butter and walnuts. Pour into jars, cover and store in refrigerator. Should be used in 2 weeks time.
