Sugared Nuts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 c. plain peanuts

Preparation

Combine peanuts, sugar and water in a heavy 12-inch skillet. Place over medium heat and bring mixture to a boil.

Immediately spread coated nuts on a large buttered baking sheet.
Bake in a 300\u00b0 oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
Cool on rack.
Store cooled peanuts in an airtight container.
