Nutty Christmas

Need a quick and easy gift to give to friends, co-workers, neighbors, teachers or even parents? For over 25 years I have made the most amazing Sugar Glazed Walnuts, which I put into decorated cellophane bags and hand out as presents.

My mom is the first in line. She loves them and shares them with her friend Peg. It has become a tradition.

So, here is the recipe. Share it with others.

Sugar Glazed Walnuts

½ cup butter

1 cup brown sugar – packed

1-teaspoon cinnamon

1 pound of walnut halves

In a 1-1/2 quart casserole, melt the butter in the microwave for a minute or so. It should be bubbling. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon and microwave on high for 2 minutes. It should be bubbling. Add the nuts and stir to combine. Microwave on high 3-5 minutes stirring once. Spread on waxed paper to cool.
