Coated Nuts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lb. or 3 (10 oz.) pkg. walnuts, shelled
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. water
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375\u00b0.
Place nuts on a cookie sheet in oven for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
Remove from oven.
Put nuts in a strainer with large holes, like a French fry basket, and shake off the skins or take nuts outside and blow off the skins. Set aside.
Grease the 2 cookie sheets with margarine or butter. Cook sugar, water, cinnamon and salt to soft ball stage 236\u00b0 without stirring.
Remove from heat; add the vanilla, then add nuts.
Stir quickly until all nuts are coated, then turn out on a greased cookie sheet.
Cool, then separate.
