Steps:
- Line baking sheets with aluminum foil.
- Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until sugar dissolves and mixture begins to boil, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in butter; cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is thick and syrupy and a candy thermometer inserted into the center of the syrup, not touching the bottom, reads 230 degrees F (110 degrees C), 10 to 15 minutes.
- Mix almonds and cranberries into the sugar mixture; cook and stir until temperature reaches soft-crack stage at 280 degrees F (138 degrees C), 10 to 15 minutes. Stir constantly until mixture reaches hard-crack stage at 305 degrees F (152 degrees C), 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Quickly stir baking soda into brittle mixture until fully incorporated. Pour brittle onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Stretch candy out by lifting and pulling from the edges using forks as the candy cools. Cool completely before breaking into pieces.

Steps:
- Spread the oil over a baking sheet. Spread almonds evenly over the surface of the sheet. In a medium heavy bottomed saucepan, stir the sugar and cream of tartar into the water over low heat until dissolved. When the sugar is dissolved, increase the heat to medium and stop stirring. Bring to a boil and allow temperature, as measured with a candy thermometer, to 300 degrees F (hard crack stage). Immediately pour the syrup over the almonds and allow to cool and harden completely. Break into pieces to serve.
CRANBERRY ALMOND SAUCE
This is a recipe my grandmother used to make and keep on hand. She said she used it to "fancy-up" things. Very versatile and can be used in many ways. Chilling time is not included in the prep or cooking time.
