Peanut Brittle

2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup (dark will taste funny)
1 cup water
1 cup raw peanuts
1/2 tsp. salt
2T butter
2 tsp. baking soda

Heat sugar, corn syrup, and water over medium heat to the soft ball stage (234? F). Add peanuts when the temperature reaches 250? F. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, to the hard crack stage (290? F), and remove from heat. Quickly stir in the butter and baking soda, and beat until frothy. Pour onto buttered cookie sheets to cool.
