Spiced Nuts (sugar, cinnamon, baking, egg)

[maggie2101]

In the olden days my mom always made spiced walnuts at Christmas. The only spice was cinnamon. I have not made them in many years and I think the recipe is lost. I have seen recipes that involved egg whites, which ours did not.

I saw a recipe online for spiced pecans in the slow cooker. I'm thinking of trying that with walnuts. What say you?

Just posting this makes me miss the Canadian butter tarts and the raspberry jam tarts we used to make.

We had candied nuts, involving sugar and cinnamon. Yum

Don't forget the Schwetty Balls to go with them spiced nuts.

make a simple syrup using 1/4 cup water & 1/2 cup sugar on low heat, add the raw nuts and some cinnamon (about 1 tsp to a pound of nuts), keep stirring them continuously in the pot over low-med heat until the sugar syrup crystallizes on the nuts (you'll know it when you see it), then put in a rimmed large baking pan and roast in the oven at 275-300 for about an hour, stirring the batch every 15 minutes.

Thanks for the ideas, but it's not happening this year. Son came home from the store with a tiny bag of chopped walnuts. Maybe we will make cookies with them.
