If you’ve ever had an old fashioned sundae, chances are you’ve experienced these decadent walnuts in brown sugar syrup. One of our local spots even serves a nut sundae, a big scoop of old fashioned vanilla ice cream topped with a generous helping of walnuts in syrup. It is absolutely delicious. My mother was over the moon when a friend gave her this recipe because they’ve always been her favorite part of getting ice cream. They are easy to make and keep in your fridge all summer long. Simple, old fashioned treats are the call for the day!
You’ll need: Chopped walnuts (or pecans), brown sugar, light corn syrup, milk, butter, and vanilla.
Place brown sugar, syrup, butter, and milk into large sauce pot over medium heat. Bring just to a boil while stirring constantly.
Allow to boil for five minutes, still stirring, then remove from heat.
Stir in vanilla and nuts. Allow to cool.
Once cooled, transfer to mason jar or container of choice and store in the fridge. Will be good for several weeks to a few months, when stored properly in the fridge.
Walnuts in Syrup are amazing served on top of all sorts of treats! Try them on cake, cheesecake, yogurt, pancakes, or whatever else you can come up with.
But make sure you have them on a dish of your favorite vanilla ice cream! Enjoy!
