When I was little my Nanny always had some kind of brittle lying around during the holidays.
Not sure what kind it was exactly.
But I do recall seein’ some.
Only recently did I discover delicious green hulled pumpkin seeds.
So, I thought, well why not add a bit of caramel to them and make a nice lil’ brittle?
Okay so I think real brittle uses nuts instead of seeds and probably has a plethora of other ingredients but I prefer to keep my recipes simple.
5 ingredients…
That’s it.
Just 5.
And you’re all set.
I bet you have all 5 of these ingredients in your pantry right now.
So, you gunna make this for Thanksgiving?
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/6 tsp. sea salt
- 1/2 cup green hulled pumpkin seeds
- Pinch curry powder
Instructions
-
In a medium sized saucepan, boil sugar, water and sea salt over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Let mixture cook without stirring until it reaches 240 degrees F, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat; add pumpkin seeds and curry powder. Mix well until syrup crystallizes, about 5 minutes.
-
Return saucepan to medium heat, cook until sugar is completely melted and starts to turn a caramel color, approximately 6 minutes.
-
Pour caramel onto parchment paper; cover with another sheet of parchment paper.
-
Roll on top with a rolling pin to ensure flatness. Set aside to cool before serving. Enjoy.
It’s so fun and easy. My kiddos love it too.
What an awesome and easy treat. Definitely something different to bring to Thanksgiving dinner.
