How to Make Wet Walnut Topping
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water.
- Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely and the syrup becomes clear.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for exactly 2 minutes without stirring.
- Add 1 cup walnut halves. Return to a boil, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely. The topping will thicken as it cools.
- Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature. Stir well before each use.
- **Fall Walnut Topping Variation:** Add 1/4 cup raisins and 1/4 cup chopped dried figs along with the walnuts in step 4.
- **Walnut Whiskey Topping Variation:** Stir in 1/4 cup of your favorite whiskey after removing from heat in step 5.
