Peanut Brittle

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup hot water
1 cup light corn syrup (colored)
1/4 teaspoon salt

Cook until temperature is 250 degrees.

Add
2 cups raw Spanish peanuts
1 tablespoon butter

Cook until 290 degrees

Take off of heat, stir well.

Add
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda

Put in pan, cook.

Break with butter knife.

This recipe is from my old young women's president, Julie Fambrough.  I hadn't ever thought I would like peanut brittle, but when I tasted this as a laurel, I loved it!
