Pistachio and Pine Nut Brittle is a sweet spin on the traditional peanut brittle. This nut candy also includes dried cranberries, giving the brittle a festive color of red and green (from the pistachios) for the holidays. Ingredients:
2/3 cup sugar |
1/3 cup light-colored corn syrup |
1/4 cup water |
1/2 cup unsalted dry-roasted pistachios, coarsely chopped |
1/3 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted |
1/4 cup dried cranberries, coarsely chopped |
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine first 3 ingredients in a medium, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring just until combined; bring to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 335° or until syrup is dark golden brown. Remove from heat; stir in pistachios and remaining ingredients (mixture will bubble). Quickly pour mixture onto prepared pan; spread to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cool completely (about 2 hours). Break brittle into bite-sized pieces.
