SC - Hedgehogs

[Gedney, Jeffrey]

> a handful slivered almonds, lightly fried in butter and sprinkled with
> sugar
> 2 lbs ground pork
> 2 tsp ginger
> 1 tsp each salt and sugar
> 1/2 tsp  cinnamon 
> 1/4 tsp clove
> currants for eyes and nose
> 
> Fry the almonds in melted butter over gentle heat. Don't over cook! They
> like to burn, even after you take them off the stove. Just before they're
> done, sprinkle them with a bit of sugar. Try not to eat them all before
> you use them for the hedgehogs...
> 
> Mix the pork and spices; form into balls about 2" in diameter, and squish
> into a vaguely hedgehog shape (kinda ovalesque). Stick them with the
> slivered almonds, at least 6-8 per hedgehog, angled backwards, like
> quills.  Place a snippet of current for each eye and a nose. Bake on a
> cookie sheet in a 350o oven for 30 min, taking care not to burn them,
> until medium brown. Drain on paper towels for a couple of minutes before
> serving.
> 
> I would also reccommend covering the hedgehogs with foil until almost
> done, to keep the almond slivers from burning...
