Servings: persons

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups unblanched almonds
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda

1
Line a 15x10x1-in. pan with parchment. (Do not spray or grease.)
2
In a large heavy saucepan, combine sugar, water, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly to dissolve sugar. Using a pastry brush dipped in water, wash down the sides of the pan to eliminate sugar crystals. Cook, without stirring, over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 260u00b0 (hard-ball stage).
3
Stir in almonds, butter and seasonings; cook until thermometer reads 300u00b0 (hard-crack stage), stirring frequently, about 8 minutes longer.
4
Remove from heat; stir in baking soda. (Mixture will foam.) Immediately pour onto prepared pan, spreading as thin as possible. Cool completely.
5
Break brittle into pieces. Store between layers of waxed paper in airtight containers.
