Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

4 cups Water
2 cups Walnuts
6 tablespoons Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Peanut or corn oil
Traditionally, these crispy sweet walnuts are served as a "starter"
appetizer to a Chinese banquet dinner to tease the palate before the first entree. They make wonderful snacks or a perfect cocktail food. PREHEAT OVEN TO 325~F. Bring a pot of water to a full boil.
Add walnuts, remove from heat and set aside for 3 minutes. Drain walnuts and pat dry. While nuts are hot, toss evenly with sugar and salt to coat. Add oil and mix thoroughly. Spread nuts in 1 layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. Allow the nuts to dry for an hour or until their surface is thoroughly dry. Bake, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and serve. Store in an airtight container. They will keep for several weeks.
