Pistachio Brittle

• 1 1/4 cups unsalted pistachios
• 1/4 cup unsalted sunflower seed kernels
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
• 2 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup light-colored corn syrup
• 1/2 cup water
• Dash of kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• Cooking spray

1. Combine the first 4 ingredients, tossing to coat.
2. Combine sugar, syrup, water, and salt in a heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cook 25 minutes or until golden and a candy thermometer registers 340u0b0, stirring occasionally. Stir in pistachio mixture and butter, stirring rapidly. Remove from heat; stir in baking soda (mixture will bubble). Rapidly spread mixture onto a jelly roll pan coated with cooking spray. Cool completely, and break into small pieces.
