Maple Glazed Walnuts

Walnuts glazed with maple syrup.

We frequently eat oatmeal for breakfast, and we like to garnish our oatmeal with maple syrup glazed walnuts which are quickly prepared.  Here's how:

Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt in heavy saucepan (I use cast iron pan.)

Sprinkle salt in pan.

Heat pan on medium heat and add 2 cups of walnut halves.

Two cups of walnuts halves.

Heat until you can smell the aroma of the toasted walnuts.

Add 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup.

Add 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup.

Cook until the walnuts are glazed and the syrup has caramelized.

Heat until walnuts are glazed and syrup has caramelized.

And here you have it, two cups of maple glazed walnuts.

These are great sprinkled over oatmeal or they are good for simple snacking.
