MONASTERY OF THE ANGELS PEANUT BRITTLE



Monastery of the Angels Peanut Brittle image

The monastery is located in the Hollywood Community of Los Angeles at 1977 Carmen Avenue, where the nuns prepare candy and other food products to sell, with the proceeds going to charity. Their heavenly candies are exceptional, which is no surprise because candy making was taught to the nuns by the former owners of Juliet's Candy Shop in Pasadena. When the shop was closed, the couple donated their equipment and recipe collection to the monastery. The nuns make their peanut brittle only once a year, around Christmas time. This recipe has been published in the Los Angeles Times many times, usually around Christmas. Some cooking notes and comments which were provided to the Times by the sisters; raw peanuts are the key to making their brittle. Cooking the peanuts in the syrup gives the candy it's outstanding flavor. The nuns have also stated that this recipe which they have provided to the Times comes as close as any one can come to in duplicating their recipe in a home kitchen. Because the nuns use commercial ingredients and equipment, the end product will not be exactly the same. Note, all recipes which are published in the Los Angeles Times are first tested in the Times test kitchen, (where residential cooking equipment and techniques are used) before the recipe is published in the newspaper. In preparing this recipe, the nuns advise having two cooks available for the pouring and spreading of the hot liquid candy, it makes this step a lot easier.

Time 45m

Yield 4 pounds, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 3/4 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups raw peanuts
1/4 lb butter
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Start by preparing 3 buttered jelly roll pans, 15 1/2" X 10 1/2 " and spraying 2 or more forks with non-stick vegetable spray; set aside until ready to pour the candy mixture.
  • Combine sugar, water and corn syrup in a large kettle; and bring to a boil while stirring constantly.

  • Remove mixture from heat; combine baking soda and salt and stir into candy; pour candy onto 3 warm, buttered jelly roll pans.
  • Use forks, coated with non-stick vegetable spray, to quickly spread mixture as thinly as possible (having two cooks makes pouring and spreading the brittle easier); also note that the mixture is extremely hot and should be handled with care.

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup raw Spanish peanuts
1 cup white sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
½ cup water
1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Lay out several sheets of foil to spoon the hot peanut brittle onto.
  • In a large skillet mix the sugar, syrup, and water together. Cook at a medium-high heat, stirring regularly. Heat until the mixture has a hard ball consistency. Heat to 250 to 265 degrees F (121 to 129 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball. If you don't own a candy thermometer, occasionally hold spoon above mixture, allowing it to drip off spoon. When mixture is at hard ball stage, it will 'hair' off the spoon when falling, looking like a clear spider web.
  • Once mixture is at hard ball consistency, add raw peanuts. (They will pop a little.) When mixture starts to turn a light clear-brown, as if it's starting to burn, remove from stove. Add soda and stir. Mixture will foam up.
  • Spoon out bite-size pieces onto unbuttered foil, stirring constantly between each couple of pieces. Mixture can also be poured onto unbuttered foil as one big piece and broken into smaller pieces once cooled.

PEANUT BRITTLE
