Georgian Walnut and Honey Brittle Diamonds

What you need

• 300 g (3 cups) walnuts, halves or large pieces
• 250 g (3/4 cup) honey, a dark, strongly flavored one is best
• 50 g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp sunflower oil, for greasing

Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).

2. 2

   Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant and a shade darker, 8-10 min.

3. 3

   Chop the warm walnuts coarsely into pieces about 1 cm (1/2 in) across. Keep them warm.

4. 4

   Line a second baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush the paper and a rolling pin lightly with oil.

5. 5

   Combine the honey and sugar in a heavy, wide saucepan. Heat over medium-low, stirring only until the sugar dissolves.

6. 6

   Boil gently, without stirring, until the honey mixture is thick and deep amber, 8-10 min. A drop in a glass of cold water should set into a firm bead. Watch closely, since honey scorches fast.

7. 7

   Take the pan off the heat and stir in the walnuts for 30 seconds, until fully coated.

8. 8

   Scrape the mixture onto the parchment. Cover with the oiled rolling pin and roll to an even layer about 1 cm (1/2 in) thick.

9. 9

   Cut into diamonds about 4 cm (1 1/2 in) wide with an oiled knife while still warm, within 2-3 min.

10. 10

    Cool for 30 min, until hard. Break apart along the cuts and store airtight for up to 2 weeks.
