directions

  • Preheat the over to 300°F.
  • Combine all ingredients but walnuts in a saucepan and simmer over low heat for 2-3 minutes. Put the walnuts in a large bowl, pour on the glaze, and toss to coat.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spread the walnuts in a single layer. Bake 30-40 minutes, stirring and scooping up the glaze to cover the walnuts at least every 10 minutes.
  • When walnuts look almost dry, they're done. Slide the walnuts, still on the foil, onto a wire rack and let them cool completely.
  • You may want to pull out the ginger pieces.

  1. Hands down, this was the favorite of the ladies in my Red Hat Society group when I made a few varieties to take with me. I think next time, I may use some brown sugar to up the sweet factor and possibly use pequin peppers for some heat.
     
  2. Auntie Cookie, you are a genius. I made these tonight. I'm looking towards my holiday baskets. These were wonderful! I used all the ginger and didn't take it out, (couldn't see it!), and I figure it's a good eye-popper for those lucky ones who get it! I used parchment paper to bake these because I could just see myself with torn foil...UGH! I am not a big walnut fan, but these taste leafy and crisp...I really like them! Oh, by the way, I used the full amount of hot pepper sauce, (Tapatio, we don't care much for Tabasco), and next time I think I will use more, maybe twice more, for more kick. Great recipe, Aunt Cookie, a keeper and winner!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I wandered onto Recipezaar less than a year ago, looking for a lentil soup recipe. I'm pretty sure I haven't left the computer since then...I've been completely sucked in by this site! Of course, I do take the occasional break to actually cook the recipes I find. When I'm not at my computer or in the kitchen, I'm working toward my PhD in clinical psychology from Kent State. I also work as a therapist at the campus clinic, teach a class (Social Psychology this semester), and work as a research assistant. I'm a little bit busy. I do usually find time every day to cook something for myself with the help of this site, and to exercise (to counteract the effects of the great recipes I find here). I don't have much time in my life for hobbies at the moment (sigh), but I seem to recall that I used to like reading, going to see musical performances, and watching movies. I still do my best to travel as much as possible. My sister, Kate, my boyfriend, Jake, and my friend, Kris, are my favorite travel partners. Kate and I go on an "eatacation" every year. The picture above is (from left) Andrea, me, and Kris, on our first annual Tacky Tourist Weekend.
