Peanut Nougat

Put one pound of granulated sugar in a graniteware saucepan and heat until the sugar is melted, stirring constantly. Have in readiness one quart of finely chopped peanuts which have been sprinkled with a pinch of salt. Place these in a buttered tin, warm slightly, and pour over the peanuts the melted sugar. Sugar cooked in this way will turn to caramel and for this reason must be removed from the stove the moment it is dissolved.
