Best Wet Walnuts Recipes

WET WALNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place walnut pieces in a baking pan in a single layer; toast until golden brown and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven; set aside. Combine maple syrup, corn syrup, and walnuts in a bowl; stir until nuts are well coated. Serve.

WET BLACK WALNUTS

Steps:

• Toast walnuts on a baking sheet until fragrant and taking on some color. When they are cool enough to handle, chop walnuts roughly, and season to taste with kosher salt.
• In a heavy-bottomed, stainless-steel saucepot, combine the corn syrup and maple syrup. Over medium heat, warm the syrups, then increase heat slightly until frothy and bubbling, like large soap bubbles, taking care that it doesn't boil over. Lower the heat back to medium, and let the mixture slowly simmer, reducing slightly, about 12 minutes.
• Carefully stir in the vanilla extract and the tea, and let the mixture cook for another 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, and stir in walnuts.

FIOR DI LATTE GELATO WITH WET WALNUTS

Steps:

• For the gelato: The night before, freeze the ice cream maker bowl, if needed.
• Prepare a large bowl with ice and a little water.
• Whisk together the sugar, salt and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Put over medium heat and allow to toast until fragrant, 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Slowly whisk in the milk and heavy cream. Whisking constantly, cook until the mixture begins to bubble and thicken, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat, pour into a medium heatproof bowl and place over the ice bath. Whisk constantly to help cool the mixture, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Once cool, prepare an ice cream maker for freezing according to the manufacturer's instructions. Turn on the machine and slowly add the cooled gelato mixture. Allow to churn for 15 minutes until it thickens.
• Meanwhile, make the wet walnut topping: Combine the corn syrup, maple syrup and lemon zest in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, chopped walnuts and salt. Set aside.
• When the gelato is thick and creamy, turn off the ice cream machine. Scoop the gelato into serving dishes, top with wet walnuts and any other toppings.
