Cinnamon Nuts
Crunchy,sweetly spiced nuts.
1/2 tsp. dry Minced Orange Peal rehydrated in 2tsp of water
1/2 tsp. Ceylon Cinnamon
1/3 Cup of water
2 Cups of walnuts or pecans Halves
3/4 Cup of sugar
Cover the dry Minced orange peel in water. Let stand for at least 10 min. to fully rehydrate. Combine the orange peal, suger,ceylon, and water in a deep sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring regularly. Add nuts and reduce heat to medium low, so the liquid is simmering. Stir constantly while the water evaporates. First, the glaze will be shinny. As the water boils off, the sugar will form brown crusty crystals on the walnuts. When the nuts are completely coated and all the liquid has evaporated, remove from heat. Male sure to stir constantly t prevent the nuts from burning. Spread nuts on a cookie sheet to cool.

Make sure that you use Ceylon Cinnamon in your recipe. The Cinnamon that is sold in the USA is actually Cassia and could be toxic.
