Holiday Cheer - Glazed Nuts

Leave a comment with your email to be entered in the drawing. This week's prize is Kohl's Cares Good Housekeeping "A Very Merry Christmas" Cookbook. It "features hearty dishes, mouthwatering cookies and traditional table centerpieces the entire family will enjoy." I'll draw a winner for it next Wednesday, Dec. 7th.


Yeah, sorry, no comment on the recipe name, but, huh, they are almost as good as Schweddy Balls.  For a great laugh, check out this video on Schweddy Balls. WARNING - ADULT CONTENT in the video.


Glazed Nuts

Ingredients:

1½ cups sugar
½ cup sour cream
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1½ quarts of pecans or walnuts or both

Directions:

In a heavy sauce pan, mix sugar and sour cream.  Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture reaches soft ball stage (238° on candy thermometer).  Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Immediately add nuts and stir until they are well coated.  Spread mixture onto wax paper to cool.  When completely cooled, break into pieces and store into air tight container.
