Hazelnut
Brittle
Adapted
from "The Martha Stewart Living Cookbook," it contains 4 ingredients:
sugar, water, apple cider vinegar and hazelnuts. While the original
doesn't specify a temperature to cook it to, a recommendation is to
cook it to a hard crack stage. You may substitute other nuts if desired.
4 c sugar
1 c water
1/4 t apple cider vinegar
5 1/2 c hazelnuts, lightly toasted
Combine
sugar, water and vinegar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook
until amber in color, about 20 minutes, brushing the sides when necessary
to avoid crystallization. Add in the nuts. Pour onto an oiled 12x17
inch pan and set until firm but soft enough to cut. Invert onto a cutting
board and unmold. Using a large oiled chef's knife, cut the rectangle
into even pieces. Alternatively, pour over buttered surface, let cool
and break into irregular pieces.
