Peanut Brittle

Boil sugar, syrup and water until it will spin a thread (240°). Add peanuts and salt and continue cooking slowly over a low fire until it turns a golden brown at the hard-crack stage (300°). Remove from fire and add butter, baking soda and vanilla.

Stir quickly.

Spread on two large cookie sheets that have been well buttered.

Cool and break into pieces.
