Ingredients




5 tablespoons of Butter
1 cup of Maple Syrup
1 cup of Water
2 1/4 cups of Brown Sugar
1 cup of Pistachios
1 cup of Dried Cranberries
3/4 teaspoon of Salt
3/4 teaspoon Vanilla
3/4 teaspoon of Baking Soda
2 1/4 teaspoons of Water

Preparation

1 Take 2 tbsp of your butter and grease up a 12x18 inch pan generously. 2 Grab a small sauce pan and add to it your syrup, the 3 cups of water and the brown sugar. Attach a candy thermometer and start to boil the mixture. 3 When the mixture hits 275 degrees, add in the remaining 3 tbsp of butter and let it melt in. 4 Mix together the salt, vanilla, baking soda, and the 21/4 tsp of water. Once the brittle hits 300 degrees, turn the heat off and stir in the mixture quickly. Add in your pistachios and cranberry and stir them in. 5 Now you'll spread your mixture out across your pan and allow it to cool completely.
