Jean, I think you once posted a method, boiling was it? How do you get a flavorful coating on nuts?

Here's what I used to do when I was working - man, I haven't done these for a long time. It's a good thing, 'cause they really are addictive.
* Exported from MasterCook * Candied Nuts 1 1/2 lbs. walnut halves (or any nut - pecans especially good) 1 1/2 cups water 2 cups granulated sugar 1 Pinch cayenne To candy the walnuts: Bring the water, sugar and cayenne to a boil to dissolve the sugar. Add the walnuts and stir over heat for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into a sieve and let drain. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet which has been sprayed with baking spray in one layer. Bake at 350 F. for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. The nuts are ready when they feel dry to the touch. Watch them carefully, they will burn easily. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Jean, can you use parchment paper for easy clean-up?
