Time 30m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound shelled walnut halves
1 cup sugar
6 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a saucepan bring 1 quart water to a boil over high heat. Add walnuts, and return to a boil. Drain in a colander and immediately return to pan. Add sugar, and mix constantly with a rubber spatula until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Nuts will be shiny and coated in sugar.
  • Lay out about 2 feet of aluminum foil. In a wok or deep pot, heat oil to 375 degrees over medium-high heat. Carefully add walnuts, spreading them out in oil. Let them cook undisturbed for 2 minutes, then cook, stirring, 1 to 3 minutes more, until golden brown.
  • Turn off heat and quickly remove nuts with a slotted spoon, spreading them out on foil. Make sure nuts do not touch one another. When nuts have cooled, transfer them to drain on paper towels, then into an airtight container.
