Chinese Fried Walnuts

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

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. 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.
