Homemade peanut brittle is a family favorite. Try substituting your favorite nuts for a different flavor.

Peanut Brittle

2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 cups roasted salted peanuts

1. Coat a baking sheet with oil; set aside.
2. In a 3-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan over high heat, cook sugar, water and cream of tartar until mixture reaches a medium caramel color. Brush down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in warm water 2 times, to prevent the sugar from crystallizing. Add peanuts and stir with a wooden spoon to coat completely with caramel.
3. Remove pan from heat and quickly pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet. Working quickly, spread mixture thinly with the back of a wooden spoon. Let peanut brittle cool completely (about 30 minutes), then break into pieces. Store in a tighlty covered container.

Makes 10 servings.
