Ingredients
- 2 cup roasted peanuts
- 5 tablespoons minced or shredded ginger
- 3 cups dark unprocessed sugar
- 1 cup water
Directions
Combine the peanuts and ginger.
Place in a deep pot with the sugar and water.
Put stove on high and boil.
Boil until water is gone and the sugar is like carmel and sticky.
Place a sheet of greased paper on a flat surface (kitchen counter) close by.
Stir the mixture in the pot with a large spoon to be sure it does not stick to the
bottom. Use the spoon to scoop out mixture to create 1-1/4-inch wide mounds on the
greased paper. Each 1-1/4-inch wide mound should be placed in a separate heap on the greased
paper. Let the drops cool and harden.
