Ingredients
- 2 cups peanuts with the skin
- 1½ cup caster sugar
- 1¼ cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- vegetable oil
Equipment
- Saucepan with thick bottom
- Candy thermometer
- Wooden board
Instructions
- Using a paper towel, spread a thin layer of vegetable oil on a wooden board and set aside.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the peanuts, sugar and water.
- Cook over medium heat for about 8 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and mix well.
- After caramelization, the sugar crystallizes and becomes like a kind of white sand.
- At this time, slightly increase the heat so that this sand melts, liquefies and sticks to the peanuts.
- Remove from heat and mix well.
- Transfer the caramelized peanuts to the oiled wooden board.
- Using a spatula, spread the peanuts, separating them as much as possible and allow to cool, then harden.
- Once cool, store the garrapiñadas in a glass jar in a cool place or in the refrigerator.
