Categories     Nut     Appetizer     Bake     Edible Gift

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 Tbs. unsalted butter
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
6 quarter-size slices fresh ginger, halved
1 Tbs. water
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. Tabasco, or to taste
1 lb. (4 cups) shelled walnuts

Steps:

  • In a conventional oven Heat the oven to 300ºF. Combine all the ingredients except the nuts in a small saucepan and slowly simmer over low heat for 2 to 3 min. Put the nuts in a bowl, pour the glaze over them, and stir and toss to coat them with the glaze. Line a jellyroll pan with foil and spread the nuts in a single layer on it. Bake for 30 to 40 min., stirring at 15- and then 10-min. intervals. When the nuts look light and almost dry as you toss them, they're done. Don't touch them; the caramelized sugar is extremely hot. Slide the foil onto a rack and let the nuts cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use fresh walnuts. Fresh walnuts have a more pronounced flavor and a better texture than stale walnuts. If you can, buy walnuts that have been recently harvested.
  • Roast the walnuts before adding them to the recipe. Roasting the walnuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can roast walnuts in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a good quality maple syrup. The quality of the maple syrup you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Look for a maple syrup that is dark and amber colored. Avoid maple syrups that are light in color or have a thin consistency.
  • Don't overcook the walnuts. If you overcook the walnuts, they will become tough and chewy. Cook the walnuts until they are just heated through and slightly caramelized.
  • Serve the walnuts immediately. Spicy maple walnuts are best served immediately after they are made. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Spicy maple walnuts are a delicious and versatile snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a sweet and spicy treat or a healthy snack, spicy maple walnuts are a great option.
