Sugared Walnuts

At my mother’s bridal shower given by ladies of the Patterson Lutheran Church, each attendee provided a handwritten recipe. This is one of those recipes.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup sugar
• 6 tablespoons evaporated milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2-1/2 cups walnuts

Directions

Mix cinnamon and sugar together in medium-size saucepan. Stir in evaporated milk and salt. Boil to soft ball stage (235-240°). Remove from heat.

Stir in vanilla and walnuts. Pour onto rimmed cookie sheet and separate into small pieces while walnuts are cooling.
