Glazed Macadamia Nuts Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 50 min. + cooling

Yield: 20 Servings

20 50 70

Ingredients

3 cups macadamia nuts
1/2 cup sugar, divided
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter

Directions

Spread macadamia nuts in a single layer in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 250° for 5 minutes; set aside.
In a heavy saucepan, combine 6 tablespoons sugar, corn syrup, oil and salt; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil without stirring until a candy thermometer reads 238° (soft-ball stage).
Remove from the heat; stir in butter until melted. Pour over nuts; stir to coat. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with remaining sugar; toss to coat. Spread on foil to cool. Break apart and store in an airtight container. Yield: 5 cups.

Editor's Note: We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.
