Recipe Introduction


A traditional holiday favorite and a candy that keeps very well. Store these candied nuts in a screw-top jar or a tightly covered canister. You can use your favorite nut meats in this recipe, especially good with walnuts, al­monds, pecans or filberts.


List of Ingredients




1 1/2 cups Beet Sugar
1/1 cup warm water
3 tablespoons orange juice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup grated orange rind
2 1/2 cups nutmeats


Recipe



Combine sugar, water and orange juice in a saucepan, stirring well to dissolve sugar. Cover pan and place over heat; boil for 1 minute, or until the steam inside the pan has melted all sugar crystals down the sides. Remove cover and continue cooking to a soft-ball stage (240° F.). Add cinnamon, orange rind and nutmeats.
Stir gently with a fork until syrup loses its clearness and becomes creamy. Turn the mass out onto a sheet of wax paper, or onto a lightly buttered baking sheet. Separate the nutmeats with a fork. Allow to cool. Makes 2 1/2 cups.
