Glazed Walnuts



1 lb walnut halves
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spread nuts in a single layer over a baking sheet.  Roast for approximately 8 to 10 minutes or until the nuts start to turn brown.

Stir together sugar, cinnamon, salt and milk in a medium saucepan.  Cook over medium-high heat for 8 minutes or until the mixture reaches 236 degrees (soft ball stage).  Remove from heat and stir in vanilla immediately.

Add walnuts to sugar syrup and stir to coat well.  Spoon nuts onto waxed paper lined cookie sheet and immediately separate nuts with a fork.  Cool and store in airtight containers.
