Almond Brittle

Ingredients:
water, bottled, generic
sugars, granulated
syrups, corn, light
nuts, almonds
salt, table
butter, without salt
vanilla extract
leavening agents, baking soda

Directions:
Bring the water to a boil in a large, heavy saucepan over moderate heat.
Stir in the sugar and corn syrup until dissolved.
Cook to the hard-ball stage (250F, 121C) and add the almonds and salt.
Cook, stirring occasionally, to the hard-crack stage (300F, 150C).
Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, vanilla, and baking soda.
Pour the mixture onto a well buttered slab or baking sheet and spread it out with a spatula, making it as thin as possible while it is still hot.
Cool to room temperature and break into pieces.
Store in an airtight container.
