These almonds make a very nice present wrapped in cellophane or in a glass jar. They also come in quite handy, when you've forgotten to stock up on sweets and suddenly crave something sugary and delicious. Ingredients:
200 g almonds (with skins) |
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar |
2 tablespoons brown sugar (white works as well) |
3 tablespoons water |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Mix together water, both kinds of sugar and cinammon. Stir well.
2. Put almonds in a microwave proof dish and cover with sugar coating. (See that all of them are coverd neatly).
3. Microwave almond-sugar mixture for 3 minutes (700Watt).
4. Take out of microwave oven and stir (mixture begins to be bubbly, be careful, it's very hot).
5. Microwave again for about 2-3 minutes. (Mixture is supposed to be lightly crumbly, dark and partly gleamy. Depends on your microwave's peculiarity ).
6. Line a baking tray with non stick kitchen paper.
7. Transfer almond mixture to tray and separate/spread evenly.
8. Let dry and cool for about 5-10minutes.
