Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups pecans
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 1/4 cups light corn syrup
  • 2 1/2 cups sugar
  • 4 tbsp butter

Directions:

  1. In a nonstick saucepan, heat and stir sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt over medium heat until sugar has dissolved. Over high heat, using a candy thermometer, cook sugar mixture to a hard crack stage (290 degrees F).
  2. Add nuts and butter and cook to 300 degrees F stirring all the time to keep the nuts from burning. Pull off heat at 300 degrees F and stir in baking soda while beating to froth for 30 seconds.
  3. Pour at once on to 4 well buttered 15 1/2 by 10 by 1-inch pans. Spread with a spatula as thin as possible. As the brittle cools you may use gloves to hand stretch the brittle which will give it a better eating quality.
  4. This brittle has a great shelf life, if kept in airtight zip locks or containers; it will keep for 2 months.
