Candy - Peanut Brittle

2 cups sugar
1 cup white corn syrup
1/2 cup water
4 cups raw peanuts
1 scant tp. baking soda

Mix sugar, syrup and water in saucepan.  Cook until mixture comes to a rolling boil.  Add nuts. Continue to cook until it spins a thread that will snap.  It will then be an amber color.  This should take about 15-18 minutes.  Remove from heat.  Add soda.  Do not stir until foam disappears, then spread in a a very thin layer on greased foil.  When cook, break into pieces.
