Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a saucepan combine water sugar and cayenne and bring to a boil over high heat; stirring until sugar dissolves.

Step 2

Add walnuts; reduce heat to medium and cook until syrup boils and nuts are very sticky (30-40 minutes).

Step 3

Meanwhile pour enough vegetable oil in a heavy saucepan to reach a depth of 4 inches and heat the oil to 350 degrees F.

Step 4

Drain walnuts, discarding syrup, and working in batches and a slotted spoon, transfer walnuts to hot oil and cook until browned (2-5 minutes per batch), stir constantly. Using a slotted spoon transfer walnuts to a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with the salt and cool completely.

Step 5

***These can be made 3 days ahead; stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
