My mother loved Peanut Brittle. Here is her recipe.
Peanut Brittle
1 ½ tsp soda
1 tsp water
1 tsp vanilla
1 c. water
1 ½ c. sugar
1 c. light corn syrup
3 Tbs. butter
1 lb. shelled unroasted peanuts (raw)
Butter 2 baking sheets, each 15 ½ x 12 inches; keep warm. Combine soda, 1 tsp water and the vanilla; set aside. Combine sugar, 1 c. water and the corn syrup in large saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally to 240 degrees on a candy thermometer. Stir in butter and peanuts. Cook, stirring constantly, to 300 degrees, watch so it doesn’t burn. Immediately remove from heat; stir in soda mixture thoroughly. Pour half of candy onto each warm baking sheet and quickly spread evenly as thin as possible. Cool; break into pieces.
