Walnut Pralines
I went to the Périgord not long ago and discovered many specialties based on nuts. That’s good, I’m crazy about it! I present you the nut pralines which can be nibbled as they are, or go into the composition of recipes that I am going to propose you very quickly. They will keep for a very long time. Very easy to make, you can also offer them in a nice package. You will see that they will be very successful…
Ingredients
- 300 g of walnut kernels
- 200 g of sugar
Instructions
- Choose your walnut kernels so that they are as beautiful as possible.
- Pour the sugar into a large pan with a little water just to soak it and stir with a spoon. Heat over moderate heat.
- When the bubbles thicken, add the nuts.
- Stir to coat well with the thick syrup.
- While still stirring, heat until the syrup crystallizes. It will dry.
- Make sure the nuts are well coated with this granulated sugar.
- Keep mixing to avoid burning the nuts. Heat until a thin layer of caramel coats the nuts. All the sugar should not melt, but just a very thin layer.
- When done, pour onto a good quality parchment paper or silicon mat. Let the nuts cool.
- As soon as they have warmed up, put them in an airtight box. They can be kept for a long time, while waiting to use them in a recipe or to eat them as they are!
