Microwave
Peanut Brittle
(Make in a normal size microwave)
I found this recipe in the cookbook that came with my first microwave oven. So quick and easy to make!
Warning:
Do not make during high humidity weather. This mixture is very hot! The making
of this peanut brittle should be supervised by an adult.
1 cup white sugar
½ cup white corn syrup
Put together in 1-1/2 qt. casserole; stir well. Zap on high
for 4 minutes.
Add:
1 cup roasted, salted peanuts
Stir in. Very hot! Zap for another 3-5 minutes
(until light brown).
Add:
1 tsp. butter (no sub!)
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Add to peanut mixture; mix well. Very hot! Zap
for another 1-2 minutes. Peanuts should be light brown.
Add:
1 tsp. baking soda
Gently stir into hot mixture—this will foam and turn light. Very
hot! Quickly pour into a greased cookie sheet. Let cool on raised
baking rack for about one hour. When completely cooled, break into small
pieces. Store in airtight container.
Makes about 1 lb. of yummy brittle!

Quilting Tip of the Week 1.21.16
Microwave Bowl Potholder Tutorial
NOTE: DO NOT HEAT IN MICROWAVE OVEN-MAY CAUSE A FIRE-USE AS A POTHOLDER TO REMOVE AND HOLD HOT ITEMS.
Originally posted on this blog in June of 2012, here it is again by popular request. Click HERE to connect to the tutorial....but before you begin this project...
A couple of things I should point out when making these bowls (and I've made at least 100 of them):
*Be sure to use only Warm & Natural Cotton batting
*Only use cotton thread
*Remember, use only 100% cotton--no glitter, gold trim, flannel, etc.
*For best results, I pre-wash my batting and fabric BEFORE cutting.
*When folding in half to sew your darts, try running your finger between the layers to smooth out any wrinkles before sewing.
*Press every seam--it will make the finishing process so much neater!
