Not Your Average Brittle...Pecans!

• 2 cups Granulated Sugar
• 1 cup Light Corn Syrup
• 1 cup Water
• 1/8 teaspoon Table Salt
• 2 cups Chopped Pecans
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda

1. Lightly grease a baking sheet and set aside.
2. Combine Sugar, Light Corn Syrup, Water and Salt in a large, heavy skillet (cast iron works best if you have it). Bring to rolling boil over medium-high heat. Add chopped pecans; continue cooking until the syrup begins to turn brown. Depending on how hot your eye gets, this usually takes about 20 - 25 minutes to get the desired consistency. *Be sure to constantly stir the mixture so it does not stick
3. Do not over or under cook it because the brittle will be ruined.In order to test consistency put a drop of the brittle mixture into cold water, if it hardens immediately it is done.
4. Remove from heat once you have the desired consistency, and stir in Unsalted Butter and Baking Soda.
5. Pour onto prepared baking sheet. Cool completely before breaking it up into pieces.
