  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 3/4 cups Pistachios coarsely crushed
  • 1 cup Dried Rose petals
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Take water, sugar, butter and corn syrup in a heavy bottomed deep pan, cook it on medium high heat until the thermometer reads 300 F for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  2. As soon as the syrup hits 300 F , remove it from heat and add in baking soda and salt and mix it well. It might bubble up. So be careful , and immediately add the rose petals and pistachios. Mix well.
  3. Spread the mixture immediately onto a lined parchment paper on baking sheet.
  4. Let it cool for about 1 to 2 hours and then break them into little pieces. And store it at room temperature in an air-tight bottle.
  5. Variation 1- Instead of rose petals and pistachios, you can use the same method to make coconut brittle using dry coconut flakes or shredded dry coconut. Variation 2 - Use mixed nuts like cashews, almonds, pistachios, along with saffron strands.
