Fiery hot habanero peanuts ii

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Raw Peanuts
¾ cup Fiery Hot Habanero Sauce
1 tablespoon Oil
Salt to taste
¼ Apple Smoked Red Habanero; (see note below) (up to 1/2)
Additional oil for baking sheet

Directions

Place the peanuts into a large bowl, pour the Fiery Hot Habanero Sauce over the peanuts. Stir until well coated. Sprinkle smoked Hab over nut/sauce mixture, stirring well. Let sit, stirring occasionally, for 1 to 2 hours.

Sauce will soak in and dry somewhat. When ready to bake off, if desired, add 1 Tbls of oil or so and toss until coated lightly.

On well oiled baking sheet (large enough to spread the peanuts to a layer one peanut deep) spread peanut mixture and the sprnikle generously (to taste) with salt.

Place into a 250 to 275 F oven for 60 to 90 minutes or so. Stir occasionally. The sugar in the sauce tends to make the peanuts rather sticky while they are baking- do not expect the surface to dry out.

When the nuts have developed a light mahogany color, remove them, allowing them to cool. The nuts will crisp up and 'dry' as they cool. Pay close attention- you do not want to burn them.

Caution: when peeking in the oven to watch the work in prgress, DO NOT hold your face over the opening- this will/can cause INTENSE discomfort from the hab fumes.

Note: The addition of MWPH Apple smoked red Hab increased the heat- this is done to taste. My comfort level is around ½ tsp per recipe.
