BEER NUTS
Author: Tag Sale Tastes
Ingredients
  • 1 pound raw blanched peanuts (shelled and skinned)
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus extra for seasoning, to taste
  • 1 cup water
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cover a large baking sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil, and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a large, heavy stockpot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and continue to boil for 15 to 20 minutes, until most of the water is absorbed. (There will still be some thick sugar solution.) Spread nuts onto prepared baking sheet, sprinkle with additional salt, to taste, and bake for 20 minutes. Stir peanuts, sprinkle with additional salt, if desired, and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Nuts should be lightly golden brown.
  3. Allow to cool on baking sheet, breaking up any nuts that have stuck together. Store nuts in an air-tight container until ready to serve.
