I have been trying to make maple syrup nut brittle for some time now with no appreciable results. All the online recipes I have seen call for white sugar, corn syrup and very little maple syrup; (maybe ½ cup).
I have been trying to do it with maple sugar and maple syrup. No white sugar or corn syrup. I can’t seem to get it up to the hard crack stage (300 deg F) without it crystallizing into an almost solid mass of nuts and sugar. It is unstirrable and I am afraid it will burn if I don’t take it off the heat
My main questions are:
· Are white sugar and corn syrup necessary ingredients for nut brittle?
· Is there any way I can use maple syrup for nut brittle?
I would appreciate any and all comments that might help me with my problem.
