At Thanksgiving, I made a salad (along with other dishes) to take to dinner at our daughter's home. She had requested a green salad with dried cranberries, walnuts, and feta cheese. I usually make these Candied Walnuts from Taste of Home to serve with a salad like this -- and they are good -- but I was just coming off a sugar fast and thought I'd like to find a recipe using maple syrup rather than brown sugar. The photo below is of my regular candied walnuts, but I must say it looks just like the maple ones.
A simple search turned up these Maple Candied Walnuts from Texanerin Baking. Aside from the nuts (pecans can be used instead of walnuts, if preferred), this recipe calls for only three ingredients: maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. It was much, much easier than I expected. These came out really well and I was so happy to be able to make candied nuts with a natural sweetener that happens to be extremely delicious.
I would recommend either of these candied nut recipes as a gift from your kitchen this Christmas!
