For the simple syrup:

1 cup Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Sucanat

3/4 cup water, brought to a boil

For the candied nuts:

2 cups macadamia nuts, rough chopped

3 tablespoons simple syrup

1/2 cup Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Sucanat

To make simple syrup:  Mix Sucanat and water in heavy saucepan.  Bring to a rapid boil, stirring until smooth.  Allow to cool.  Simple syrup will keep several weeks in an airtight container.

To make the nuts:  Toss the nuts with simple syrup.  Toss the Sucanat with the nuts (the syrup helps the Sucanat to stick).  Toast in a 300 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes until they smell toasty and look golden in color.  Cool to room temperature before using.

Yields 2 cups.
