Mixed Nut Brittle

Ingredients:
nuts, cashew nuts, raw
nuts, pistachio nuts, raw
nuts, almonds
sugars, granulated
butter, salted

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325F
Toast each type of nut separately by placing them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and baking until a little more than golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes for the cashews, 15 minutes for the pistachios, and 5 to 10 minutes for the almonds.
As they are finished, let them cool to room temperature.
Then gather them in a bowl and stir them together.
Put 2 cups of the sugar in a saute pan and set it over medium-high heat.
Let the sugar melt and caramelize until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes.
Then add 4 tablespoons of the butter and whisk it with the sugar until it takes on an almost saucelike consistency.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 2 cups of the nuts and stir until they are well coated in the caramel.
Pour the mixture out onto a foil-lined baking sheet, spreading it out with a baking spatula.
Repeat with the remaining sugar, butter, and nuts.
Put the baking sheets in the oven and bake until the nuts spread out into a flat sheet, approximately 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool.
Then break up by hand into desired-size pieces.
