Pine Nut Brittle (Crocanti)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup pine nuts
- Line a large baking pan or a cookie sheet with parchment, foil, or a silicone mat.
- Lightly grease the parchment if using.
- Set aside.
- In a heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine together the sugar, water, butter, corn syrup, and salt.
- Cook, stirring, until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, then raise the heat to high and boil without stirring, occasionally brushing down the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush, until the mixture turns deep golden brown in color and registers 350F on a candy thermometer.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the pine nuts with a wooden spoon.
- Make sure the caramel coats all the nuts.
- Turn the mixture out onto the prepared sheet pan and, using a buttered heat-resistant spatula, spread it so the nuts are in a single layer.
- Let the brittle cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
- Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dry area for up to 2 weeks.
