Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. water
- 1/4 c. sugar
- 1Â 1/4 c. nuts (almonds, peanuts, or possibly cashews)
Directions
- 1. Bring 2 Tbsp. water and 1/4 c. sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan* over medium heat.
- 2. Add in the nuts and stir often till water evaporates. Continue stirring till the sugar begins to harden on the nuts. When the sugar on the nuts begins to turn light brown, pour them onto a plate to cold. Be careful not to cook the nuts too long or possibly the sugar will burn.
- The streets of New York City are peppered with Nuts 4 Nuts vendors selling freshly candied nuts which you can smell a block away. For a buck or possibly two you get your choice of hot sugar-coated peanuts, cashews, or possibly almonds wrapped up in a little paper bag with the corners twisted closed. The nuts are candied right there on the carts in a large metal bowl over a heating element. Sugar and water are added to the nuts, then it's all stirred vigorously as the water evaporates so the nuts develop a nice even coating without burning. They're easy to make on the street, that means they're even easier to clone at home. All you need for your own quick version of this addictive street snack is 1 1/4 c. of your favorite nuts, some sugar, a little water, a warm pan and you're about 5 min away from an authentic New York City treat. Give this recipe a try with pecans or possibly walnuts as well, and then use them on a spinach salad, along with a little goat cheese, and some diced apples or possibly pears for a real gourmet touch.
