RED PEANUT PATTIES

List of Ingredients





3 C. sugar
3 C. raw peanuts
1 C. light corn syrup
1/2 C. water
1/2 C. unsalted butter
1 T. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
Few drops red food coloring

Lay a large piece of wax paper on a dishtowel on a counter.

In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, peanuts, corn syrup and water. Cook the mixture to soft ball stage (240ºF), stirring constantly over medium heat.

Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the remaining ingredients, adding enough food coloring to get a very bright red shade. Stir the mixture frequently for approximately 20 minutes, or until it cools to about 125ºF. The mixture will become very thick and creamy opaque, and the peanuts will be suspended.

Immediately spoon the mixture into large patties on the sheet of wax paper. Let the patties sit for at least 1 hour before eating them. Their texture should be chewy like nougat. Wrap them in plastic wrap for storage. They will keep for about 1 week.
