Ingredients

  • 1.8 cups dry-roasted peanuts 
  • 1.5 teaspoons middle eastern rose water 
  • 0.8 cup sugar 
  • 0.3 cup water 

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • baking sheet
  • sauce pan
  • aluminum foil

Directions

  1. 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.)
  2. Remove from heat and stir in rose water.
  3. Spread nuts on foil to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  4. Nuts keep in an airtight container at room temperature 1 week.
