Southern Friday!
Friday!!!! I love the word. It has been a crazy, crazy week and I’m looking for a couple of days to regroup!
Anyway, for this week I will offer 3 words – Tabasco Praline Peanuts!
Okay, just think about that for a while. We actually have s0me of them here and they are outrageous! Anyway, I will have more information coming about them soon.
In the meantime, after a busy week, we really needed something easy, peasy!
Today’s Lagniappe: Sugar and Spice Peanuts
# 3/4 cup sugar
# 1/2 cup water
# 2 cups shelled raw peanuts
# 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Cook sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Stir in peanuts, and cook 10 minutes or until sugar starts to crystallize on peanuts. Sprinkle pumpkin pie spice evenly over peanuts, stirring to coat. Spread nuts in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake at 300° for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheet. Store in an airtight container.

Yummo. I bought a little jar of pumpkin pie spice and didn’t use it last winter. Now I know what to do with it.
