Ingredients
- 5 cups unsalted raw peanuts, skins on
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 tsp salt
Method
- Heat the oven to 300°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Combine the sugar, water, and salt in a large heavy saucepan and stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the peanuts and cook, stirring frequently, until the syrup thickens, coats the nuts, and eventually turns sandy and crystallises on them, 15 to 20 minutes. Keep stirring as the liquid evaporates so the nuts do not scorch.
- Tip the peanuts onto the prepared baking sheet and spread them in a single layer.
- Bake, stirring once or twice, until the coating is dry and the peanuts are crisp and lightly toasted, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Cool completely on the tray, breaking apart any clusters. Store in an airtight jar at room temperature.
