CARAMELISED NUTS.. READ HOW TO MAKE THEM.

Now this is an easy-peasy recipe for you to make but be careful.. they're veryvery tasty, so I don't want you squeaking and a'squawking about how addictive they are.

Recipe 1.

You will need.

150g (5 oz) unblanched almonds or pistachios.

100g (3.5 oz) caster sugar.
1 tbsp. groundnut oil.

150g (5oz) white sesame seeds.

200g (7oz) caster sugar.

A frying pan.

A baking tray.

1 tbsp. of groundnut oil.

A wooden spatula.

A rolling pin.

How to do it recipe 1.

Heat your frying pan over a very low heat.

Add nuts & sugar & allow sugar to melt, stirring

from time to time with the spatula until sugar turns to caramel.

Oil the baking tray with the groundnut oil, then use a spoon to remove a few nuts from the frying pan & form them into a small pile on the tray.

Repeat with all the nuts.

When nuts are cold, transfer them to a serving plate OR put them into a jar with a screw lid.

How to do recipe 2.

Heat frying pan over a very low heat.

Put in sesame seeds & sugar.

Allow sugar to melt & caramelise as in the previous recipe.

Tip the mixture onto the oiled baking tray.

Flatten the seeds with the rolling pin.

Cut into small pieces whilst the mixture is still hot & soft.

We give these as presents. You could too. It would save you scoffing the lot.
