Brittle - Three Ways!

• 2 cups sugar
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1/3 cup corn syrup
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 3/4 cups Pistachios coarsely crushed
• 1 cup Dried Rose petals
• 1 teaspoon Salt

1. Take water, sugar, butter and corn syrup in a heavy bottomed deep pan, cook it on medium high heat until the thermometer reads 300 F for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
2. As soon as the syrup hits 300 F , remove it from heat and add in baking soda and salt and mix it well. It might bubble up. So be careful , and immediately add the rose petals and pistachios. Mix well.
3. Spread the mixture immediately onto a lined parchment paper on baking sheet.
4. Let it cool for about 1 to 2 hours and then break them into little pieces. And store it at room temperature in an air-tight bottle.
5. Variation 1- Instead of rose petals and pistachios, you can use the same method to make coconut brittle using dry coconut flakes or shredded dry coconut. rnVariation 2 - Use mixed nuts like cashews, almonds, pistachios, along with saffron strands.
