Candied Walnuts

Candied Walnuts
• 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp grated orange rind
• 2 tbl orange juice
• 1 pound walnut halves
Preheat oven to 350º. Combine sugar, salt, orange rind and orange juice in large bowl. Add walnuts; toss to coat. Line a large jelly roll pan with aluminum foil. Coat with Pam. Spread walnuts evenly over foil. Bake the walnuts for 20-25 minutes or until dark brown and bubbly, stirring the nuts halfway through. Meanwhile, coat large piece of aluminum foil with Pam spray. Remove nuts form oven. Immediately spread on prepared foil, separating nuts with 2 forks. Cool completely. Store in airtight container. These nuts can be stored at room temperature up to 3 weeks. The citrus flavor actually improves over time.
Pack the walnuts in pretty glass jars tied with decorative ribbons.
