Candied Walnuts (or Pecans) Recipe

Soak nuts in liquor for an hour or so. Lightly grease a platter or baking sheet. Melt the butter and add the nuts & liquor, and the maple syrup. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the liquid has almost entirely boiled away--the nuts will be sticky but no liquid will be visible. Turn out onto the greased surface & spread thin. Sprinkle with salt while still warm. When cool, store in an airtight container.
