Pinch salt
1 ½ cups raw walnut halves
Pinch salt
Method
Preheat oven to 180C
Lay the walnuts out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 5 minutes, you are wanting them lightly toasted. If not quite ready carry on cooking for another 1- 2 minutes. Bet careful not to burn them. Remove from the oven and let cool in pan.
Pour sugar into a medium saucepan with a thick bottom. Have the walnuts nearby, ready to quickly add to the pan at the right time. Cook sugar on medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon as soon as the sugar begins to melt. Keep stirring until all the sugar has melted and the colour is golden brown. Add the walnuts to the pan, quickly stirring and coating each piece with the sugar mixture.

Comments
Walnuts are high in omega-3 oils which make them a healthy snack, but also likely to go rancid quickly. Keep them in a cool, dark place and use as soon as possible. If the shell is firmly sealed you can store them for a few months.Produce Supplied by NZ Nut Company for more info click here
