Categories     condiments, dessert

Time 30m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound shelled walnut halves
1 cup sugar
6 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a saucepan bring 1 quart water to a boil over high heat. Add walnuts, and return to a boil. Drain in a colander and immediately return to pan. Add sugar, and mix constantly with a rubber spatula until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Nuts will be shiny and coated in sugar.
  • Lay out about 2 feet of aluminum foil. In a wok or deep pot, heat oil to 375 degrees over medium-high heat. Carefully add walnuts, spreading them out in oil. Let them cook undisturbed for 2 minutes, then cook, stirring, 1 to 3 minutes more, until golden brown.
  • Turn off heat and quickly remove nuts with a slotted spoon, spreading them out on foil. Make sure nuts do not touch one another. When nuts have cooled, transfer them to drain on paper towels, then into an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, plump oranges for candying. Avoid oranges with blemishes or bruises.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the oranges thinly and evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Bring the sugar and water to a boil before adding the oranges. This will help the syrup to penetrate the oranges and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Simmer the oranges in the syrup for about 30 minutes, or until they are tender and translucent. Do not overcook the oranges, or they will become tough.
  • Remove the oranges from the syrup and drain them on a wire rack. Allow them to cool completely before coating them in sugar.
  • To coat the oranges in sugar, simply roll them in a bowl of granulated sugar until they are evenly coated.
  • Store the candied oranges in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Candied orange walnuts are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. They are perfect for gift-giving or enjoying at home.
