Sugared (Honeyed) Acorns

• 2 cups sugar (or honey)
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup acorn

1. IF you are using raw acorns you will need to prepare them first.
2. To do so put the acorns into a pot with enough water to cover.
3. Bring the water to a boil, then drain.
4. Repeat 3 times or till the bitterness is gone (the water should be clear).
5. Once you have leached the nuts, dry them on a cookie sheet in a low oven (about 200F) for 2 or 3 hours - till the nuts become brittle.
6. Remove from the oven and cool.
7. Mix sugar in water until sugar is dissolved.
8. Bring to a boil.
9. Dip the prepared acorn meats into boiling syrup.
10. Thoroughly dry them on a greased pan.
11. For variations you can use cinnamon, chili powder, ginger, or other spices.
12. Add this after you dissolve the sugar but before you bring it to a boil.
