Instructions for Peanut Brittle

Put sugar, glucose and water on hot fire and stire until it commences to boil. Wash down sides of kettelt. Cover until it steams well. Remove cover and cook until it cracks when dropped in cold water. Put in peanuts, butter, stir constantly. Cook until peanuts are roasted and candy becomes a golden brown. Sometimes peanuts commence to pop, which indicates they are roasted sufficiently. Use raw peanuts. When peanuts are roasted, set off fire and stir vanilla in well. Have your soda dissolved in just a little water, using only enough to cover immediately. After adding vanilla, pour in dissolved soda and stir thoroughly. As soon as it is stirred thoroughly, pour out on warm greased plate or slab. Cost of making about 34 cents. Makes 2 pounds.
