Candied Walnuts

This one is not down to an exact science, but that's why I'm generally not a confectioner. Or a baker. Nonetheless:


Ingredients

1/2 c walnuts
~1 c water
~1 1/2 c sugar (this is a guess. i just kept dumping it in until i got the right consistency)
small pinch paprika
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp nutmeg


Instructions

Toast the walnuts in a 350 degree oven for six minutes. Set aside to cool.

Boil the water and add the sugar and spices, and stir until you get a slightly thick consistency (but still liquid that can be poured). Lay the walnuts on a baking sheet covered with foil and drizzle the mixture over them with a spoon -- you may have to do this in batches. Sprinkle lightly with salt, then remove them when cooled.
