walnuts - 3 cups (shredded)
honey - 1 cup
sugar - 1-2 table spoon
Toast the walnuts lightly at 350F for 10-15 minutes, them chop the by hand with a sharp knife.
Put honey into a saucepan and simmer over low heat until bubbles begin to rise. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, then stir in sugar, and continue for another 2-3 minutes before testing.
To check the readiness: put a drop of syrup into a half glass of cold water. If the drop spreads out, cook another min or two. Total time should be about 8-10 mins.
Pour chopped nuts into the syrup, mix well so that all pieces are coated, and remove from heat.
Don't let the mixture burn!
Spread mixture out rapidly on a kitchen board that has been moistened well with cold water. Wet a rolling pin with water and roll out mass to a thickness of 1/2-inch, but not more.
Let this cool for 15 mins, then slice into 2-inch diamond-shaped pieces.
