Recipe: Cashew nut brittle

Ingredients

100g roasted and salted cashew nuts
125ml (½ cup) castor sugar
50ml water
5ml fresh lemon juice or apple cider vinegar

Method

1. Place the castor sugar, water and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat.

2. Shake the pan until the sugar is dissolved. The mixture should not boil before the sugar is dissolved otherwise the mixture will crystallise.

4. Take it off the heat and add the cashew nuts.

5. Mix through and pour onto baking paper or a silicon mat.

6. Once cool, break into shards or chop into bite-size pieces.
