  • This is a bit after the event, but here's a cheap way to make a very luxurious-seeming snack for parties (New Years Eve, Christmas, whatever).

    **Walnuts in caramelised http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaggery Goor

    **Get as many walnut halves as you want and cut off a block of Jaggery (most Indian-run grocers in London will have this) that's half the total weight of the walnuts. Break up the jaggery into thumb-sized chunks and stir in a pan on a low-medium heat until it melts and is evenly smooth. Add the walnuts and keep stirring for a couple of minutes, till the jaggery starts to go dark. Empty the pan onto a sheet of foil or baking paper and get to work pulling the walnuts apart before they stick together in one solid mass. Leave to dry (doesn't take long).

    Allegedly, these keep for a week in an airtight container. Have never had any left over to find out.
