Instructions

Place a large piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet or cutting board, and set aside. Preheat a large non-stick pan over medium/low heat. Dry toast the walnuts for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the maple syrup, spices, and salt, and stir very well. When the syrup begins to bubble, reduce heat to low. Stirring frequently, cook until the maple syrup has darkened slightly and condensed, about 4 minutes. When most of the liquid has evaporated and the syrup looks thickened and glossy, remove from heat.
Transfer the glazed walnuts to the parchment paper, and spread out in a single layer. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes before serving, or cool completely (30 to 40 minutes) before placing in a storage container.

Notes

Store glazed walnuts in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator. We usually consume them within a couple of days, but they should be fine for a week or more.
