French Burnt Peanuts

40 min • 4 to 6 servings •
John S
Bowl of raw, seasoned sausage meatballs on a kitchen counter next to a cooking pot and a baking sheet.

I always found these nuts irresistable. The crunch of the sugar coating into the taste of the peanuts is a great contrast. This recipe makes about 2 cups.

Ready

  • 1 c. sugar
  • ½ c. water
  • ½ tsp. liquid red food coloring
  • 2 c. raw peanuts (shelled)

    • Set

  • Heavy saucepan
  • Jellyroll pan, greased
  • Heat-proof spatula
  • Glass container for storage

    • Go!

  • Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • Place all ingredients in a large saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil and boil, while stirring, until all liquid is gone.
  • Remove from heat. Spread nuts over greased jellyroll pan.
  • Put pan in preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • Stir peanuts and bake another 15 minutes.
  • Let cool and store in glass container.

    • Recommendations

    I have found raw peanuts at farmers markets and natural food stores.
