Peanut Candy

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend 

Cooking on weekends has now become a fad with us! But this time, we thought to stay connected to all of you on weekdays too!

What is this that we are talking of??! This is the cricket season. And what follows, is a nice way to enjoy the game to the fullest. Lets break the suspense now and start making a candy which is very easy to prepare, tasty, healthy and full time pass stuff….for the idiot box fans, especially .  

For this, all you need is 200gms peanut (groundnut) and 400gms sugar. That’s it?? You can't believe it. Can you? Lets see.

Now take this sugar in a thick bottomed pan and add water till the sugar dissolves. Keep it for boiling till it boils hard into a syrup. In the meantime, roast peanuts in a dry pan and then add it to the sugar syrup. Stir it vigorously so that there is a proper coating of peanuts with sugar. Then cool it and store it in an air tight tin. You can prepare this as much as you want for the entire week (take equal proportions of the ingredients, thats it.)!!

And the nuts could be any - cashewnuts, walnuts, almonds or anything that you like.

Happy munching!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did You Know ?

Peanuts are also known as earthnuts, ground nuts, goobers, goober peas, pindas, jack nuts, pinders, manila nuts, g-nuts, and monkey nuts; the last of these is often used to mean the entire pod.  

Peanuts grow best in light, sandy loam soil. They require five months of warm weather, and an annual rainfall of 500 to 1000 mm (20 to 40 in) or the equivalent in irrigation water. This explains the origination or evidence of cultivation around 7600 years ago in South America. 

India is the second largest producer of Peanuts after China. (More the people, more the nuts !! ) 

Paint, varnish, lubricating oil, leather dressings, furniture polish, insecticides, and nitroglycerin are made from peanut oil. Soap is made from saponified oil, and many cosmetics contain peanut oil and its derivatives. The protein portion of the oil is used in the manufacture of some textile fibers. 

Peanut shells are put to use in the manufacture of plastic, wallboard, abrasives, and fuel.
