Chinese Fried Walnuts

Ingredients:
4 c walnuts (1 lb shelled)
6 c water
1/2 c sugar
salad oil
salt

Directions:
Bring water to boil. Add walnuts,
and allow water to return to boil. Cook nuts 1 minute.
Remove nuts from boiling water, rinse under hot water,
then allow to drain.
Put wet nuts in large bowl with sugar; mix until sugar is dissolved.
Heat oil to 350 degrees F.
Fry nuts in batches until golden-don't overfry.
(frying should take 5 min or less)
Drain nuts on paper plates, add salt to taste.
Stir nuts frequently during the cooling process
so they don't stick to the plate or each other.
