Reduce heat to low and continue to cook and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to coat peanuts with syrup as the sugar begins to melt and darken to a deep caramel color, about 10 minutes. Tilt pan away from the heat as needed to allow peanut mixture to darken without burning. Remove from heat immediately when peanuts are deeply bronzed; stir.

Swedish Cream Cheese Crepes
I call these Swedish cream cheese crêpes because I use a Swedish pancake instead of a regular crêpe. My entire family loves these. I have to make a huge batch every time I make them. These also refrigerate very well for 2 to 3 days. Sprinkle crêpes with confectioners' sugar before topping with berries, if you wish.
St. Patrick's Day Jell-O Shots
A fun and tasty way of keeping your Jell-O shots Irish. Just add Jameson Irish whiskey and Baileys Strawberries Cream liqueur to your layered shot glasses.
Beetroot Relish
This beetroot relish is delicious, especially when served with lamb. The texture can be adjusted to your own liking, and I suggest it be somewhat chunky to give a contrast to the smoothness of the lamb. This recipe was in a book of notes from my grandmother, and tastes amazing.
