Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 3/4 cups dry-roasted peanuts
1 1/2 teaspoons Middle Eastern rose water

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with foil. Bring sugar and water to a boil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Stir in peanuts and boil, stirring frequently, until syrup thickens, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to moderately low and stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt. Continue cooking, stirring and scraping any bits of crystallized sugar from side of pan into mixture (it will become very gritty), until sugar is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. (Sugar will still be gritty.)
  • Remove from heat and stir in rose water. Spread nuts on foil to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
