Here is a recipe for Katie that was wanting a recipe for Toasted Nuts.
Glazed Nuts
You may use any kind of nuts you prefer. I have used walnuts, pecans, Brazil nuts, cashews, almonds, filberts and large peanuts.
Fill a 3 qt saucepan with water about ¾ full and bring to a boil.
Add 2 cups of whichever type of nut you want to start with and boil for 3 minutes. (Note: When cooking, cook all the same type of nut, do not mix different nuts.) Pour into a colander and drain. Pour nuts into a large mixing bowl and add ¾ cups of sugar and then toss lightly until they are well coated.
Deep fry in a skillet or electric fryer until sugar is lightly browned. (approx. 5 mins.) If you have a basket to fry them in it helps a lot.
Spread fried nuts onto wax paper in a single layer and let them cool.
When they are cool pour them into a large mixing bowl and mix all of the different kids of nuts together and toss gently.
Place in jars or plastic bags if you want to keep them for yourself, or put them in pretty little Christmas containers for gifts.
These fried nuts make lovely Christmas gifts, or as a matter of fact, they make lovely gifts any time of the year.
Enjoy!
