This was quite tasty. I cut the recipe into a third because I didn't want so much and it worked out great!

I started making this recipe about 7 years ago. It's perfect. I actually add a teaspoon or two of vanilla extract and a scraping of vanilla bean and it perfectly replicates the flavor of the wet walnuts of my youth.

Tripled recipe & added about 1/2 cup more water - didn't want syrup too thick. Outstanding recipe! Thanks Jan H. for a real sleeper keeper!

A good recipe. However, don't do as I did. Thinking it was too thin, I reduced the syrup mix further. It got WAY too thick. Had to make another recipe without the nuts and combine the two. Thanks for posting!
