Christmas Calendar Day 13 - Christmas pickled nuts

I have found this recipe on Christmas pickled nuts in the weekly magazine Søndag (issue 51/2013). The only change, which I have found is, that I have replace the hazelnuts with almonds, as certain people have allergy towards hazelnuts.

Christmas pickled nuts: - 3 glasses

• 1 organic orange - juice and zest
• 100 g walnut kernels
• 50 almonds
• 3 dl water
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 3 tablespoon fluid honey
• 1 cinnamon

1. Start by preparing the storage glasses with boiling water
2. Boil the nuts in the water for 2 minutes.
3. Drain the nuts in a sieve. Shake the nuts well to get ride of excess water.
4. Pour orange juice, zest, cinnamon, white wine vinegar and honey in a small cooking pot.
5. Add the nuts into the liquid. Bring everything to the boiling, and let the nuts simmer under lid for 5 minutes.
6. Fill the nuts and liquid into the storage glasses, which is closed with lids.
7. Store these pickled nuts cold.
