Time 1h15m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups white sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
½ cup water
1 cup butter
2 cups coarsely chopped almonds
1 cup dried cranberries
1 teaspoon baking soda

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.

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.
