Never candied a walnut? If you love that sweet and salty exterior that you get with a handful of nuts, the time has come. Spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and orange zest, these candied walnuts bring a good measure of holiday cheer.
What’s more, we soak our nuts…which makes them easier to digest and better for you.
While fabulous on their own, we like to sprinkle candied walnuts over whipped coconut cream and Moist and Delicious Apple Cake . They’re pretty tasty in a Savory Winter Salad too.
