Calling all bacon lovers!
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw Pepitas (pumpkin Seeds)
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoons Nutmeg
- 3 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Light Corn Syrup
- 4 slices Cooked And Crumbled Bacon, Divided
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
Preparation
In a medium bowl, add pepitas, cinnamon and nutmeg. Toss to coat well.
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, water, butter and corn syrup and bring to a boil. Cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until the caramel is light brown and registers 300°F on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and carefully stir in the pepitas and half of the bacon, then immediately pour the brittle, scraping if need be onto a large rimmed, non-stick and/or parchment lined baking sheet.
Using the back of a large spoon, spread the brittle into a thin, even layer. Sprinkle with salt and remaining bacon. Let it cool completely, about 30 minutes. Break the brittle into large shards.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
