Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups walnut halves
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange peel
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place walnuts in oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become fragrant and begin to color. Turn oven off but leave nuts inside to keep warm.
  • Place remaining ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and heat to 236 degrees (soft ball stage)without stirring but occasionally shaking pan gently.
