List of Ingredients




4 oz chopped walnuts
4 oz slivered almonds
4 oz chopped pecans
2 C sugar
1/2 C water
1/2 C unsalted butter
1/3 C light corn syrup
1/2 tsp baking soda
fleur de sel or coarse salt for sprinkling

Recipe



Spread nuts onto a sheet pan and toast in the oven for 7-10 minutes, just until the nuts begin to turn golden brown.
In a heavy bottomed saucepan combine the sugar, water, butter and corn syrup over medium low heat. Stir until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Once mixture begins to boil, insert a candy thermometer and cook to 300 degrees F.,while stirring occasionally. As it cooks it will caramelize and turn golden brown.
As soon as the temperature reaches 300 Degrees F. immediately stir in the baking soda, which will cause the caramel to foam. Moving very quickly, stir in the nuts and dump onto a nonstick sheet pan or a sheet pan lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Use the back of a spoon to spread out the mixture as thin as you can (mixture will be thick ). Sprinkle generously with the fleur de sel or coarse salt.
Let set for 30 minutes until cool. Break brittle into small chunks. Brittle will keep, stored in a cool dry place, for up to a few weeks.
