The process is straightforward and takes only about 10 minutes to complete, resulting in nuts with a delicious sweet and savoury coating.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1 cup walnuts (whole or coarsely chopped depending on planed use)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon boiled cider or 1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)

Method

Set a medium skillet on the hob to heat.
Allow the butter to melt, then introduce the walnuts.
Cook the nuts, giving them an occasional stir, until they just begin to take on colour. Watch them closely as this occurs fast.
Scatter the sugar over the walnuts and mix. Pour in the boiled cider or maple syrup and stir once more to ensure the nuts are covered.
Season with the salt and the optional pinch of cayenne pepper.
Once the nuts are fully coated, take the skillet off the heat and transfer the contents onto a baking sheet or parchment paper to cool completely.
