These walnuts were wonderful! I made them as directed with the exception of the cardomon and orange zest since I did not have any. I especially liked the toasted texture and flavor added by the slow baking. They were great as they were, but I am sure the missing ingredients would make them even better! I can imagine the subtle difference the orange would make, so next time, I will be sure to add it. Thanks for sharing!
