Orange Sugared Walnuts

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 3 Tbsp. orange juice
• 1/2 tsp. orange flavoring
• 2 cups walnut meats

Directions

Combine sugar, water, and orange juice. Cool slowly, stirring until mixture boils. Boil slowly, without stirring, until a semi-firm ball will form when dropped into cold water or it reaches 250 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat; add orange flavoring and nut meats. Stir until syrup begins to look cloudy. Drop by teaspoon on waxed paper. You can use other nuts for this.
