 * 1 cup raw peanuts

½ cup cooking oil

Remove skins from peanuts and fry same as salted almonds.


 * 1 cup pecan nut meats

½ cup cooking oil

Use whole nut meats and fry same as Salted Almonds. Be careful that they do not remain in the fat too long. As they are dark, the color does not show when they are sufficiently cooked.

Prepare salted nuts, and when sprinkling with salt sprinkle also with powdered clove, powdered cinnamon, or a mixture of spices. Popcorn may be prepared in the same way. Use instead of salted nuts.

Blanch and chop almonds, spread on white paper, and add a few drops of color. Rub together until pieces are all colored alike, then dry carefully, and keep in covered glass jar. Green chopped almonds may be used instead of pistachio nuts, if the latter are not obtainable.


 * 1 cup shelled roasted peanuts

1 cup sugar

½ cup water

½ teaspoon vanilla
