Best 5 Sugar Peanuts Recipes

SUGAR-CANDIED PEANUTS

Steps:

• Heat peanuts, sugar, and water in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is grainy and crystallized, 15 to 18 minutes. (Sugar should not caramelize.)
• Raise heat to medium-high, and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until sugar just starts to melt again. (Sugar will start to caramelize. Adjust heat if sugar begins to burn or smoke.) Sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Once peanuts are coated, with some crystallized sugar remaining, transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet; spread into a single layer using a rubber spatula.
• Transfer sheet to a wire rack, and let stand until cool and hardened, about 30 minutes.

SUGAR SPANISH PEANUTS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with a plain paper bag or parchment paper.
• Mix peanuts, sugar, and water together using a wooden spoon in a large pot over medium-low heat; cook, stirring constantly, until liquid is evaporated and peanuts are coated, 20 to 30 minutes. Carefully pour coated peanuts onto the prepared baking sheet to cool completely.

SUGAR PEANUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil, and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add peanuts, and cook stirring, over medium heat until peanuts are evenly coated, and no syrup is left in pan. Spread nuts out on a baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to evenly roast peanuts.

SUGAR COATED PEANUTS

Steps:

• 1. Dissolve sugar in water over medium heat. Add peanuts and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring frequently. Cook until peanuts are completely sugared, coated with no syrup. You'll know when they get to this point. It will take approximately 30 minutes.
• 2. Preheat oven to 300. Pour sugared peanuts onto an ungreased cookie sheet, which has been lined with foil or parchment paper. Separate peanuts by using a fork.
• 3. Bake at 300 for approximately 25-30 minutes, stirring at 8-10 minute intervals. Remove from oven and cool. Store in an air tight container.

COCONUT-CORN ICE CREAM WITH BROWN-SUGAR SYRUP AND PEANUTS

Steps:

• For brown-sugar syrup:
• Toast coriander seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; crush with the bottom of a small pan or with a mortar and pestle.
• Stir sugar and 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Add coriander and peppercorns; season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer, swirling pan occasionally and brushing down sides with a wet pastry brush, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Let cool. Strain; cover and chill for up to 1 month.
• For ice cream:
• Using the large holes on a box grater, coarsely grate corn kernels from cobs into a large bowl; reserve cobs. Heat coconut milk in a large saucepan over medium heat until almost simmering. Add grated corn, corn cobs, and condensed milk; cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture barely begins to simmer, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 1 hour. Discard cobs.
• Strain corn mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible; discard solids. Whisk in salt. Cover corn ice cream base; chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Process ice cream base in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight container, cover, and freeze for at least 3 hours and up to 1 week.
• For garnishes:
• Scoop ice cream into bowls. Drizzle some brown-sugar syrup over. Garnish with peanuts and lime zest.
