Spiced Nuts

Spiced Nuts

1         C. sugar

5        T. water

¼        t. salt

1         t. cinnamon

2        C. pecans or walnuts

Spread nuts on cookie sheet.  Mix all other ingredients in pan and bring to boil.  While the mixture is boiling, heat nuts in oven for a few minutes until warm (350˚ oven).

The mixture is ready when a drop forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water.  When mixture is ready, add nuts and mix until all the nuts look frosty.

Spread nuts on cookie sheet and separate (rather quickly because the syrup hardens fast).  Cool and store.
