Fired Dried Walnuts & Pecans

Lightly sugared fire dried walnuts in a blue and white Chinese porcelain pedestal bowl and lightly sugared fire sugared fire dried pecans in a blue and white Japanese porcelain rice bowl are shown close up on a plain background.

"These nuts have a beguiling texture and an irresistible gloss of caramelized salt and sugar that make them almost universal favorites. These are not the heavily candied walnuts one finds in Hunanese restaurants. Rather, they are refined, elegant sweetmeats, just perfect for greeting guests. You may soak and dry the nuts days in advance, but to serve them warm and freshly caramelized is the ultimate seduction." - Barbara Tropp, 1982
