Recipe: Carmelized Walnuts (using balsamic vinegar) for c. flowers

Hi c flowers:-) I don't know if this is quite the recipe you are looking for but it is one that I found that you can try. I have not tried this recipe but I plan to since it sounds really good:-)!

CARAMELIZED WALNUTS

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 cups walnuts

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line heavy rimmed baking sheet with foil. Spray foil with nonstick spray. (I would guess that you could put a silpat to good use here.)

Combine sugar and vinegar in small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes.

Add nuts; toss to coat. Transfer mixture to baking sheet.

Bake until nuts are deep brown and syrup thickens and coats nuts, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Cool completely on baking sheet. Break nuts apart. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.)

Makes 1 1/2 cups.
