BLACK WALNUT BRITTLE

 

2 cups sugar

1 tsp salt

1 cup light corn syrup

2 cups raw black walnuts

1/2 cups water

2 tsp baking soda

 

Combine all ingredients except baking soda and walnuts in a large skillet.  Stir with wooden spoon until well blended.  Cook over medium high heat until syrup comes to a full rolling boil.  Add walnuts to syrup mixture.  Cook 10-11 minutes or until syrup begins to turn golden.  Remove from heat and stir in baking soda.  Pour onto two well-greased cookie sheets evenly.  Spread brittle to desired thickness and allow to cool.  Remove from sheet and break into pieces by striking with the back of a knife.  Store in zip-lock bags.
