Honey Walnuts
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups California walnuts
Fruit Salad
- 1 (1 lb) container strawberries halved
- 1 (6 oz) container blueberries
- 1 (6 oz) container blackberries or raspberries
- 2 Mcintosh apples sliced
- 2 cups green grapes
- 2 oranges juiced (about 1/4 - 1/3 cup)
- 1 lemon zested
Honey Walnuts
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Melt butter in a non stick skillet over medium heat.
Once melted, stir in honey, cinnamon and salt. Mix until well combined.
Stir in California walnuts.
Cook for 5 minutes (it should start lightly simmering), stirring often, until the walnuts are well coated and the honey mixture has started to thicken.
Pour walnuts onto the lined baking sheet .
Be sure to quickly separate the walnuts using a spatula or spoon.
Let cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the fridge or at room temperature. I prefer storing these in the fridge, then leaving them out at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
Pro tip: if your nuts are really sticking together and not separating after they cool, place them into an airtight container in the fridge for a couple hours, then break them apart.
Fruit Salad
Place strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, apples, and grapes together in a large bowl.
Toss with orange juice and lemon zest.
Serve immediately. Let people scoop their own fruit salad into an individual bowl and top with honey walnuts.
