Parris peanut brittle
1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | cups | Sugar |
| 1 | cup | Light corn syrup |
| ½ | cup | Water |
| ½ | teaspoon | Salt |
| 3 | cups | Peanuts; raw, shelled, skins off if possible |
| 2 | tablespoons | Butter |
| 2 | teaspoons | Baking soda |
Directions
In a large, heavy saucepan heat the water, syrup, sugar and salt to boiling. Add peanuts, reduce heat to medium, and, stirring constantly, cook to hard-crack stage (293-300 F). Add butter, remove from heat and add baking soda. At this point the mixture will foam up considerably, so be careful. Stirring rapidly, pour onto a non-stick baking sheet (or a marble slab), spreading to ¼ inch thickness. When cool, break in to pieces; store in an air-tight container.
