Method

  1. 01

    Toast and chop the walnuts

    Toast the walnuts in a dry pan over low heat until fragrant. Remove them and chop them into large pieces.

    Ready to continue when: The walnuts are fragrant and chopped into large pieces.

  2. 02

    Heat the honey

    Heat the honey in the pan over low heat. When it begins to bubble and simmer gently, after about 5 minutes, add the sugar.

    Ready to continue when: The honey is bubbling and simmering gently, and the sugar is incorporated.

    5 min
  3. 03

    Cook the honey to the right stage

    Continue cooking the honey over low heat, stirring constantly, for about 15 minutes. To check it, drop a little into cold water: the drops should hold their shape and sink.

    Ready to continue when: The honey has darkened, and the drops in the cold-water test hold their shape and sink.

    15 min
  4. 04

    Coat the walnuts

    Add the chopped walnuts to the honey and stir over low heat until they are evenly coated.

    Ready to continue when: The walnuts are evenly coated in honey, with no excess liquid separating out.

  5. 05

    Roll out, cut, and cool

    Transfer the hot mixture to a board. Once it has cooled slightly, roll it out to a sheet about 0.5 cm thick. While it is still slightly warm, cut it into strips, then cut diagonally to form diamonds. Let it cool completely.

    Ready to continue when: The mixture is cut into diamonds and has cooled completely until firm.
