Sugared Walnuts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. walnut halves, raw
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 c. peanut oil

Preparation

Blanch walnut halves for 30 seconds. Drain.
While still slightly damp, dredge nuts in sugar.
Spread them out to dry. Heat oil in wok to about 200\u00b0 or until a test walnut browns in about 30 seconds.
If walnut is too dark, oil is too hot. Deep-fry nuts, 1/2 cup at a time. Sugar will melt and form a thin, hard outer shell.
Cool and cover until ready to serve.
Serves 4.
