Instructions:

2-quart heat-resistant non-metallic casserole combine first 7 ingredients (I use a 2 quart Pyrex mixing bowl). 2. Heat uncovered in Microwave Oven 1 1/2 minutes; stir occasionally. 3. Add 1/2 cup nuts at a time to syrup mixture. Stir until well coated. With a slotted spoon lift out nuts; drain extra syrup. Place nuts in a shallow 1 1/2-quart heat-resistant non-metalic baking dish (I use Corning Ware). Repeat with remaining nuts. 4. Heat coated nuts uncovered in Microwave Oven 5 minutes or until syrup begins to harden slightly. 5. Transfer nuts to wax paper and allow to cool and harden. This is a family favorite and so easy to make. I always use pecans. For years I have filled some type of small container and given for gifts. Source: Sharp Microwave Oven Cook Book.
