Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pine nuts
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Basic Brittle

Directions

  1. Coat a 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Bring sugar and corn syrup to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring and brushing down sides with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming, until sugar dissolves. Cook, swirling occasionally, until mixture just starts to turn golden around edge.
  2. Stir in mix-ins. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is pale amber, about 8 minutes. Pour onto baking sheet without spreading. Let cool. Break into pieces.

    A tip with this recipe - if you add the pine nuts at the beginning of the second cooking stage (the stage that lasts about 8 minutes) the nuts will burn. I added them in in the last minute or so of the cooking process and the pine nuts get lightly toasted but won't burn.
