Sarbloh Peanut Brittle from Gurmat Bibek

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of sugar
• 1/2 cup of white syrup (can use honey or home made indian-style sugar syrup)
• 1/4 cup of butter
• 1 and 1/2 cups of raw peanuts
• A pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda

Instructions:

1. Mix together sugar, butter, syrup and salt.
2. Cook, stirring constantly, at medium heat until the mixture spins a thread when you lift the spoon from the pot.
3. Add peanuts and cook until light golden brown (sort of scorchy).
4. Dropping a bit of the mixture into a cup of ice water will create a hard ball that will break easily. Remove Heat and add baking soda.
5. Stir thoroughly. Pour onto greased cookie sheet (or thali, or any flat pan) and spread thin.
6. Let it cool and break it (you can use the handle of a spoon).
