Step 1

Take 2 tbsp of your butter and grease up a 12x18 inch pan generously.

Step 2

Grab a small sauce pan and add to it your syrup, the 3 cups of water and the brown sugar. Attach a candy thermometer and start to boil the mixture.

Step 3

When the mixture hits 275 degrees, add in the remaining 3 tbsp of butter and let it melt in.

Step 4

Mix together the salt, vanilla, baking soda, and the 21/4 tsp of water. Once the brittle hits 300 degrees, turn the heat off and stir in the mixture quickly. Add in your pistachios and cranberry and stir them in.

Step 5

Now you'll spread your mixture out across your pan and allow it to cool completely.
