A treat I am making for hostess gifts this year is a recipe from Marilyn, a friend from forever ago and a really great cook. All of her recipes are keepers. I have made a number of batches already and probably will have to make a few more.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 lb. walnuts or pecan halves (4-1/2 cups, or a combination)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup light-colored corn syrup
- 2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- coarse raw sugar
Servings:
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Using butter, generously butter a 15x10x1 inch baking pan; set aside. In a large bowl stir together the nuts, granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt and pepper until well combined; spread in prepared pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until golden and bubbly, stirring once or twice. Remove from oven. Sprinkle generously with raw sugar; toss to coat. Transfer mixture to a large piece of foil, spreading out nuts into a single layer. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. While cooling, separate nuts so they don’t harden into clumps. When cool, break apart if necessary.
- Store nuts in airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in freezer container in freezer up to 3 months. Makes 20-24 (1/4 cup) servings.

misplaced the computer disk with the instructions.
