[Sca-cooks] Candied almond recipe

[Johnna Holloway]

The latest issue of Food and Wine carries ads by
the almond growers. They had what looks like an
interesting recipe for honey candied almonds. I thought
list members might like it.

Honey Crystal Almonds
2 cups whole natural almonds
¼ cup honey - (one-quarter cup honey)
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup turbinado sugar  (Sugar in the Raw®)
 
Spread almonds in a shallow pan. Place in cold oven; turn oven to 350°F 
and roast 12 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until well roasted. 
Over medium heat in medium saucepan, heat honey and butter to boiling. 
Reduce heat to medium low, simmer 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 
Almonds; simmer and stir 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer 
almonds to baking sheet lined with parchment paper or sprayed with 
non-stick cooking spray; spread in single layer and cool slightly. Toss 
almonds with sugar to coat using a medium plastic food storage bag.
