How to Make Ila's Candied Walnuts
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Continue to boil without stirring, and cook until the syrup reaches the soft-ball stage (235°F/113°C) – this means a small amount of syrup dropped in cold water will form a soft ball that flattens slightly when removed. This usually takes about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and immediately stir in 2 cups of walnut halves.
- Stir continuously until the walnuts are evenly coated with the glistening syrup.
- Spread the candied walnuts in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and prevent sticking. Gently separate the nuts as they cool.
