Check out this recipe and more...Asian inspired; from my talented friend...Ridwan, @Rice and Coconut
I did change the title of this yummy treat, since its sweet, and spicy! (this is how recipes are made, but its always nice to give credit to the actual source, which most bloggers DO NOT follow) In the old days of our mothers and grandmothers, it was 'word of mouth', 'hands on', and of course 'hand me down' recipes, even in the seventies when I was a very young mom with toddlers, we just copied down recipes from friends' handwritten, and/or books and old magazines...never thinking about the source. No excuse these days, unless you create your own recipe just from your own creative basic source.
I did use the same amount...12 oz. shelled walnuts; the only addition of spice, was the cayenne pepper, in addition to the other spices.
Also, I used Spam, to spray the aluminum lined toaster oven tray.
I put all the walnuts, spices, and maple syrup which I added more than just drizzle on...mixed it up and got it ready to toast in the oven.
Now, you just spread evenly, and bake at 350 degrees F. for no more than 12-15 minutes...any longer than that, they will start to burn, so be careful!I did not equally measure things...just 'eyeballed'
all the ingredients, and being careful not to 'over spice'...probably used about 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup. You can store in tin can the leftoversbut I doubt you will have any leftover, its so
addictive, and oh, so heavenly with goat cheese
on pear slices! Do try out this recipe, from
RIDWAN
...and tell him I sent you! xo

ReplyDeleteHi Elisabeth, what a great way of eating candied spiced walnuts with pear!!! This is indeed very yummy and addictive too and perfect finger food too! Have a wonderful day ahead and hugs from me :)
ReplyDeleteYour spiced walnuts look amazing. I love nuts and you just made them even better.
ReplyDeletewhat a fun snack spicy and fun crunch
ReplyDeleteI love spice nuts, Lizzie, and these sound spectacular! Perfect to add to salads or give as hostess gifts. Perfect to have around all through the holidays. Hope you're having a lovely week, my friend!!! xo
ReplyDeleteYum! Elisabeth, I could easily finish these walnuts in one sitting, very dangerous hah! hah! I have stopped buying walnuts because they are expensive over here (pecans even more so) and most of the time, the ones I buy go rancid very fast or are already rancid. Perhaps the shop did not store them properly. I agree with you that we must give due credit to the recipe source even if we have made drastic changes to it. Take care, Elisabeth! I am really pining for your walnuts hah! hah!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful appetizer in time for upcoming holidays :-)
ReplyDeleteJaj de jó Elisabeth, Te már gondolsz az ünnepekre :-) Ez nagyon finom lehet, még nem ettem ilyet. Én most kandírozott fügét készítettem, épp tegnap tettem fel a képeket és a receptet róla. Az is nagyon finom lett :-)
ReplyDeletethis is a lovely idea... nice to munch on it as it is...
ReplyDeleteI am salivating....we are huge fans of spiced nuts...the only problem for me is that I have no self-control over those nutty treats.
ReplyDeleteNagyon szeretem a diót, így még finomabb lehet:) Puszi, ölelés, Kati:)
ReplyDeleteThats a guilt free snack idea
ReplyDeleteOoo my goodness Erzsike.
ReplyDeleteEz nagyon supperul nez ki, TV nezes kozben mi kell meg ennel jobb.
Este mindig kivanom az edeset, a dio legalabb egeszseges, a fagyitol csak hizik az ember.
Looks supper, what better I need while I watch TV at night. Its healthier than ice cream anyway.
Zoli
Zolika, nagyon aranyos vagy, és köszönöm a kedves kommentedet. Evvel a dióval csak az a nagy probléma, hogy nem tudod megállni fel falni az egészet, és bizony a dió meg nagyon drága. Én inkább a pattogatott kukoricát fogyasztom a T.V. nézésben, finom, olcsó és kevesebb kalória van benne!
Deleteyummy and crunchy
ReplyDeletePinned these!! They can be used for so many things now with the holidays coming up!!! LOL when i saw the BADIA packaging!!! Such a hispanic and south florida thing… People up north probably have never head of Badia before.
ReplyDeleteThanks for pinning. Yes indeed, BADIA is a S. Florida spice company...after all we live in S. Florida. I love their spices; great product, and so affordable, and KIRKLAND maple syrup...is of course, from Costco!
DeleteHi Elisabeth! I love this recipe, and i know my entire family will love it too! I will be sending this to my father-in-law right away, we have a family walnut ranch in California and he will be so happy to have a new and tasty recipe for walnut candies! Just in time for Christmas too!!!! Thanks for sharing this! x
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely treats Elisabeth! I enjoy reading Ridwan's blog, so I know that I will love this recipe. I definitely like your addition of cayenne. Especially for a party... yum! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love such sweet and spicy snacks, so I'm sure I would be delighted to have these tonight with my wine. I also like the way you put them on pear slices with goat cheese. Such a creative elegant snack idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great addictive snack! Can you move further inland so we can cook together?
ReplyDeleteClaudia, I don't think it would be necessary to move further inland to you, my dear friend, also from Florida...you are only about probably no more than 3hrs away, so we should make an effort to get together! xo
DeleteI love nuts these sounds delicious!!
ReplyDeletethis is truly addictive , i also doubt there will be hardly any leftovers! totally agree on the credit thing..!
ReplyDeleteFantasztikus rágcsálni valót készítettél! Este tévézés közben micsoda csemege! Elmentem, mert nagyon tetszik ez a recept... Guszta nagyon!
ReplyDeleteKedves Elisabeth, hogy milyen nagyon finom ez a dios recept! Mi is szeretjuk a diós dolgokat és bizony itt is Californiaban eléggé drága lett.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fabulous November:)
Sok Puzsi,
Judit és Corina
Kedves Judit, köszönöm hogy nagy elfoglaltságodban ujra rám találtál. Nagyon szép szakácskönyvet szerkesztél Corina lányoddal. Sok szerencsét és nagy sikert kivánok nektek.
DeleteA dió itt Floridában nagyon drága lett, de megér minden darabot felhasználni valami finomságos ételben és süteményben.
Sok puszi nektek is!
Hi Elisabeth, I love your candied walnuts! You're right, there would be no leftovers here..they look like a very nice gift from the kitchen at Christmas time! Happy Veterans Day, XO
ReplyDeleteHello dear friend, this is an inspiring arrangement and I think the walnut tree in my backyard would agree that I will have to try it one of these days.
ReplyDeleteOh! I make candied walnut often, but never added any spices on it...next time I will make sure to add some cayenne pepper to spice it up...
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week Elisabeth, and yes, I am back :D
Juliana, I'm so happy to see you back on your new site...will check it out right now!
DeleteYour determination paid off and you have your friends to back you up with your new site! Looking forward to keep up with your new site:)
These would make lovely gifts for Christmas, they look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAlso, walnuts are super healthy!
Simply delicious!
ReplyDeleteSweet, creamy, nutty and crunchy snack.....
Thank you everyone for your kind and thoughtful comments. I've had such a strange but eventful few days...have not been on the computer for over 24 hrs...(no other technical devices; not even a smart phone, or I-Phone...I-Pad)...so bare with me and I will keep you updated with what's been happening! xo
ReplyDeleteHi my dear Elisabeth, so sorry I very very late this time. How you doing?
ReplyDeleteYour this spiced walnut sure look very tempting. I think hard to stop munching and it sure pair very well with coffee. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes.
Have a lovely day. With lots of love and hugs to you. Take care.
