Several people requested this recipe at the Half-Life party. More Twelfth Night ruminations coming later.
Cinnamon Walnuts

2 cups walnut halves
3/4 cup sugar
grated peel of 1 orange
1/2 tsp cinnamon or true cinnamon
1/3 cup water

Combine orange peel, sugar, cinnamon, and water in a deep saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking gently. Add walnuts and reduce heat to medium; simmer. Stir with a wooden spoon while the water evaporates. When nuts are fully coated and the liquid is gone, spread walnuts on a cookie sheet to cool and crisp up. Can be stored for up to two weeks.

I like using true cinnamon here as it adds a nice floral note. These are, IMHO, far superior to most commercial cinnamon walnuts!

So tasty!
It's nothing short of amazing that the renowned carouser and libertine [livejournal.com profile] madbaker can also cook such yumminess! ;-)

Truly, it is.

The online SJ police blotter has a mention, even.

(OK, I made it up, but it had you going for a minute, didn't it?)
