Vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
2 cups sugar

CASHEW BRITTLE



Cashew Brittle image

Categories     Candy     Cashew     Raw

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup corn syrup
1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup raw unsalted cashews
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Line a nonstick sheet pan with parchment or a silicone mat, and set aside.
  • Heat the corn syrup, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat. Cook until the temperature reaches 310 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Once the mixture reaches 310 degrees F, remove from the stove; quickly add the baking soda, cashews, and butter, and keep stirring constantly. The mixture will stay opaque.
  • Carefully pour the hot mixture onto the mat-or parchment-covered sheet pan, and spread across the pan with wooden spoon. Cool for 1 1/2 hours. Break into 2-inch pieces.
  • note
  • A silicone mat works best to avoid a sticky clean-up; do not use waxed paper, which will melt and stick under the heat of the candy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh honey: Fresh honey has a better flavor and texture than old honey. It will also help the brittle to set up properly.
  • Don't overcook the sugar mixture: The sugar mixture should be cooked until it reaches a light amber color. If it gets too dark, the brittle will be bitter.
  • Stir the sugar mixture constantly: This will help to prevent the sugar from burning.
  • Add the nuts and butter at the right time: The nuts and butter should be added to the sugar mixture once it has reached the desired temperature. If you add them too early, they will burn.
  • Pour the brittle onto a greased baking sheet: This will help to prevent the brittle from sticking.
  • Let the brittle cool completely before breaking it into pieces: This will help to prevent the brittle from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Cashew brittle is a delicious and easy-to-make candy. It is perfect for snacking or giving as gifts. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of cashew brittle that is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give cashew brittle a try. You won't be disappointed!
