Categories     Nut     Fry

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 cups water
4 cups walnuts
½ cup sugar
salad oil (vegetable oil or peanut oil)
salt

Steps:

  • Bring water to boiling in 4 qt. saucepan. Add walnuts and heat to boiling. Boil for 1 - 2 minutes. Rinse nuts under running hot water and drain. In large bowl, stir warm nuts with sugar until sugar is dissolved. Let stand for 5 minutes. Heat 1 inch of salad oil to 350 degrees. With slotted spoon, add about half the walnuts to the oil. Fry about 4 minutes or until golden brown. With slotted spoon, place walnuts in coarse sieve to drain. Sprinkle very lightly with salt and toss to keep from sticking. Transfer to paper towels, parchment paper or even coffee filters. I prefer the coffee filters because they don't stick like they do to paper towels. Fry remaining nuts. Store in tightly covered container to use within 2 weeks.
