PREPARATION
In a saucepan put the sugar and 'water and bring to a boil. Boil a few minutes and then pour the chopped walnuts, candied fruit, spices (I put a teaspoon of allspice and a teaspoon of cinnamon) and finally the flour. Stir quickly and with your hands make balls. Grease or put parchment paper on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes at 150 - 160.

300 g zucchero di canna
300g farina
100g acqua
100g noci sgusciate
60 g canditi
15g spezie ( coriandolo, anice, amo di finocchio, molta cannella)
PREPARAZIONE
In un pentolino mettere lo zucchero e l' acqua e portarlo a bollore. Farlo bollire qualche minuto e dopo versare i le noci tritate grossolanamente, i canditi, le spezie( io ho messo un cucchiaino di spezie miste ed un cucchiaino raso di cannella) ed infine la farina. Mescolare velocemente e con le mani fare delle palline. Ungere o mettere la carta da forno in una teglia ed infornare per 15 minuti a 150 - 160. Non vi preoccupate se sembrano troppo morbidi, e' importante che non si secchino eccessivamente. Potete anche metterli in dei sacchetti, si mantengono benissimo.
