     Yield: 4 servings

     4 c  Water
     2 c  Walnuts
     6 tb Sugar
   1/4 ts Salt
     1 tb Peanut or corn oil

 Traditionally, these crispy sweet walnuts are served
 as a "starter" appetizer to a Chinese banquet dinner
 to tease the palate before the first entree. They make
 wonderful snacks or a perfect cocktail food.

 PREHEAT OVEN TO 325F. Bring a pot of water to a full
 boil. Add walnuts, remove from heat and set aside for
 3 minutes. Drain walnuts and pat dry. While nuts are
 hot, toss evenly with sugar and salt to coat. Add oil
 and mix thoroughly. Spread nuts in 1 layer on a
 foil-lined baking sheet. Allow the nuts to dry for an
 hour or until their surface is thoroughly dry. Bake,
 stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes or until
 golden brown. Remove and serve. Store in an airtight
 container. They will keep for several weeks. Makes 2
