Recipe Introduction


Serves: 12


List of Ingredients




12 apples
12 wooden ice-cream sticks
4 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cups light corn syrup
1 teaspoon red food colouring
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup chopped peanuts

Recipe



Procedure

Grease a large cookie sheet and set aside.

Wash and dry the apples. Insert a stick throught the stem of each, laving about 2 inches of the stick for gripping.

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, food colouring and water.

Cook, stirring constantly, until the ingredients are dissolved and the liquid boils.

Set a candy thermometer in the mixture and continue cooking, without stirring, until the temperature reaches 290 degrees, in about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, place the chopped peanuts in a bowl.

Remove the syrup from the heat and dip the apples, one by one, to coat evenly.

Work quickly so the sauce doesn't harden.

As you finish dipping an apple, roll it arund in the peanuts to coat evenly.

Then set each down on the prepared cookie shet.

Let the aples col for at least an hour before placing on a platter to serve.

You can also wrap in plastic wrap and tie with ribbons.
