Salted Pistachio Brittle

What a great sound it is to hear the crunch of Peanut Brittle being politely consumed. I have some stunning green and rosey coloured pistachios compliments of my neighbour. I thought it might be nice to make some pistachio brittle - it really gives the teeth a work out !

What you need....

1/2 cup sour cream
 
125g butter

1 cup castor sugar

1/2 cup liquid glucose

2/3 cup chopped pistachios

1/3 cup dried cranberries

1 tbsp rose water

sea salt to sprinkle

 
Make it happen....

1. Add the sour cream, butter and sugars to a med saucepan on low heat. Once the butter has melted increase the heat to medium for around 3 min or until the mixture turns light brown.

2. Add half the pistachios and cook for a further 8-10 minuets

3. Remove from heat, stir in the rose water and quickly drop a teaspoon full of brittle onto grease proof paper, repeat until the mixture is gone.

4. Top with the remaining nuts and cranberries.

5. Sprinkle a little sea salt over the brittle before serving.
