3 cups raw peanuts
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 cup corn syrup
Where to find ingredients
In Solomon Islands, peanuts, sugar and bicarbonate of soda are available in supermarkets and grocery shops. Corn syrup may be found in larger supermarkets or baking sections; glucose syrup can be used as a substitute when corn syrup is unavailable.
Preparation method
- Start by mixing the peanuts, sugar and corn syrup in a deep microwave-safe container
- Put the mixture in the microwave on high power for 10 minutes, remembering to pause the cooking a few times to stir well and help it cook evenly
- As soon as you remove the container from the appliance, add the bicarbonate of soda and stir quickly so it is fully incorporated into the mixture
- Immediately spread the syrup over a stone bench or cold surface that has been previously greased with a little margarine
- Let the sweet rest until completely cool and only then break it into smaller pieces to serve
Observations
This is a good solution when you want a traditional crunchy sweet without spending a long time at the stove. The method is simple, direct and gives a delicious result.
