A friend served these nuts at a party this week, and they were so delicious I asked her for the recipe. She makes them in her stir crazy popcorn popper! Since we only own an air popper, I tried them in a saucepan on the stove top today and they turned out great. They make a nice GFCF treat with the extra advantage of getting nuts into otherwise picky children--a little protein with the sugar. If you want to reduce the sugar to 1/3 or even 1/4 cup (along with the water), I think the recipe would still work.
Candied Nuts
1/2 c. sugar
1 t. cinnamon
1 C. nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds--FG stage 2, etc.)
1/8 c. water
Melt ingredients on stove top or in stir crazy popcorn popper until sticky crystals begin to form. Spread on waxed paper and let dry. Store in airtight container.
