Sugar & Spice Walnuts

Alison Needham
These addictive walnuts are sweet and salty and have just a touch of heat from cayenne pepper. Serve them as a nibble at your next cocktail party, or give them as a hostess gift, wrapped in a pretty bowl.

FOR THE SUGAR TOPPING:

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Beat the egg white in a large bowl until it's quite foamy. Toss walnuts with egg white so they are thoroughly coated.
  • Place sugar, salt, and spices into a large zip top bag. Remove walnuts from egg white with a slotted spoon, letting any excess egg drip out. Place nuts in the sugar bag and shake vigorously to coat.
  • Pour out onto greased cookie sheet and separate nuts. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until dry and toasted.
  • Mix sugar topping in a large bowl. Gently break apart walnuts with a fork or spatula. Place in the bowl with the sugar and toss to coat. Place back on the cookie sheet to cool. When cool, toss with the cranberries and seal in air-tight containers.
