Ingredients
- 2 lbs/1 kg sugar,
- 3 cups water,
- 22 oz/650 g peeled green walnuts,
- 1/2 cup honey,
- 1/2 vanilla stick,
- juice from 1/2 lemon
Directions
Remove the green peel from the walnuts and as you peel, place in a bowl with cold water lest they darken.
Then place the walnuts in a pot with boiling water and leave for 15 minutes.
Drain and place in a pot with cold water, also for 15 minutes.
Repeat this procedure (hot water to cold water) three times.
In the meantime, make the syrup, remove foam, add honey and vanilla.
When the syrup starts to thicken, add the walnuts and lemon juice, letting simmer until the preserves are done.
Remove from heat, cover with a wet cloth and place in jars when cold.
