- Cook on low 1 hour then stir. Cook another one half hour to one hour more.
- Turn out onto wax paper and let cool – completely.
- Pack in an airtight container. The walnuts will keep in the fridge about 6 weeks and will keep in the freezer for about 3 months.
Notes
- Make sure you are using real maple syrup for this.
- Stir the walnuts well when you first add them to the slow cooker. You want everything to get coated with the maple syrup mixture.
- Make sure you give the walnuts a chance to totally cool on the wax paper. Cooling allows the coating to set and harden.
