Rosemary Candied Walnuts

Servings: 2 cups
Author: Diane Schmidt - createdbydiane.com

Ingredients

  • 2 cups walnuts
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

Instructions

  • In a frying pan (thick bottom works best, the thin bottom tends to burn the candy quickly) place sugar and butter over high heat.
  • Cook until it reaches about 300 degrees, it goes so quickly as there is not a lot of candy in this batch.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, pour in nuts and add rosemary and toss with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until the nuts are completely coated.
  • Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and separate the nuts so they can cool separately without having them all clump together. I use two spatulas to spread them out.
  • Salt the nuts.
  • They cook rather quickly.
  • Once completely cooled place in a candy dish, or wrap for a gift.
