Peanut Brittle

2 cups granulated sugar
1 pint chopped peanuts
1 teaspoon salt


Put the granulated sugar into an iron frying pan and heat slowly until the sugar is melted and turns a light brown, or slightly above 300 degrees F., stirring constantly. Have in readiness the finely chopped peanuts, sprinkled with the salt. Place these in a buttered tin, warm slightly and pour over them the melted sugar.
