Sometimes it’s nice to sit in front of a laptop or TV screen to watch an interesting movie. It is doubly nice to do this in the circle of loved ones and relatives. You will get triple pleasure when watching a movie if you learn how to cook delicious peanuts in sugar at home.
Tasty Nuts
Perhaps, for someone, such a proposal may seem strange, because sweet is not the healthiest product and there are many disputes surrounding sweets related to harm or benefit to the human body. But, you must admit, sometimes you really want something tasty (albeit not quite useful). We are all human beings, and sometimes tend to show small weaknesses. Moreover, nuts are a valuable product for the body. They give strength and help strengthen the nervous system.
A budget way to diversify family evenings
Today, consider a peanut recipe in sugar. We will learn how to cook this interesting snack so as not to overpay in the store for a handful of nuts. Peanuts themselves are a low-cost product, like all the ingredients for translating a recipe. Therefore, peanuts in sugar, if made independently, will not strike a blow to the family budget. But at the moment when all homeworkers will enjoy eating sweet nuts with pleasure, you are guaranteed their appreciation.
Remember Allergic Reactions
Before preparing nuts in sugar, remember: do you or your family have any allergic reactions to nuts. Many do not even suspect that such a reaction may exist, but someone can forget this nuance, carried away by the preparation of goodies.
Also, caution should be exercised if your children begin to eat peanuts in sugar, prepared by you. First give one or two little things and only after an hour and a half treat the child with this delicacy. Precaution is necessary to exclude the possibility of a violent reaction of the body to this product.
Peanuts in burnt sugar (in a pan)
You are convinced of the complete safety of this appetizer for the whole family and therefore proceed to the collection of ingredients and their preliminary preparation.
Buy nuts without shells. The film with which each nucleolus is coated will come off on their own during the frying process.
Make sure your bins contain sugar.
Roast peanuts
Rinse the peanut beans. Dry them with a clean towel. It doesn’t matter if you start using paper or fabric. Put the pan on the stove and heat it well.
Pour prepared kernels evenly to cover the bottom of the pan. Stir fry over medium heat. Cooking time 12-15 minutes. Finished kernels break easily and have a golden hue inside.
Goodies Ingredients
Proportions for the preparation of peanuts in sugar:
- one glass of peanuts (beans, without top shell);
- half a glass of sugar;
- fifty milliliters of pure boiled water (a quarter cup).
Cooking technology
First, prepare syrup for sweet peanuts. To do this, mix the granulated sugar with water. It is not necessary to stir it completely if there are crystals that have not dissolved, nothing to worry about.
Fry nuts at a moderate temperature in the pan (the method described above). As soon as the peanut kernels begin to crack, gently fill them with syrup (right in the bowl).
In order to eventually get peanuts in sugar, not only tasty, but also beautiful, very carefully stir the contents of the pan with a spatula. The nuts are brittle, so the movements of the device should be as delicate as possible. After evaporation of the liquid, sweet fudge will begin to form on the surface of each core. It will take about fifteen seconds for sugar crystals to envelop the nuts.
Turn off the pan and cool, without stopping stirring. At this point, be careful not to overcook the product. It is better if you pour the prepared hot peanuts in sugar into another bowl. Do not forget to interfere with the kernel here, otherwise the syrup can stick together and turn all the goodies into a monolithic walnut tile. Once the sweetness has completely cooled, you can start tasting it.
Simplified version
This cooking recipe is sometimes preferable: it takes less time, and its taste is no worse than peanuts cooked in burnt sugar.
We need the following ingredients:
- a pound of peanut kernels;
- icing sugar - to taste.
How to cook
Peeled peeled peel with hot water. We wait five minutes and drain the water from the cores. With our hands we clean off the swollen husk and dry it using any clean kitchen towel (cloth or paper).
We heat the thick-bottom pan and evenly spread the prepared nucleoli. Fry over moderate heat, stirring continuously and delicately. Thermal preparation of nuts lasts 13-15 minutes. As soon as the kernels change their shade to caramel, turn off the fire. Sprinkle the hot nuts with powdered sugar and mix very carefully. So sweet nuts in icing sugar are ready. Put them on a wide flat dish and enjoy homemade roasted peanuts.
