A great festive season present. From The Best of Country Cooking 1999. Don't they look gorgeous? Hubby loves it. I added a wee bit of cinnamon with the sugar and almonds. Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter |
2 1/2 cups unblanched whole almonds |
1 cup sugar |
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Melt butter over medium-high heat.
2. Add sugar and almonds and cinnamon if using.
3. Stir constantly for around 10 minutes or till the sugar turns golden brown.
4. (I kept stirring till the nuts were coated and the sugar was almost all dissolved: about 15 mins but I used the smallest gas burner) Remove from heat.
5. Add extract.
6. Immediately drop in clusters or separately nuts on greased baking pan.
7. Cool.
8. Enjoy.
