Recipe - Roasted Almonds

1 cup Whole Almonds; Shelled
One half cup Water
One half cup Sugar

1. Combine almonds, sugar and water in a heavy skillet.

2. Place over medium heat and stir constantly.

3. After about 5 minutes, the sugar will crystallize and stick to the
almonds.

4. Keep on cooking and stirring until this sugar liquefies, making the
almonds shiny brown all over.

5. Pour onto a large baking sheet and quickly separate nuts as much as
possible with a pair of forks which have beed dipped in oil.

6. When nuts are cold, store in a jar with a tight fitting lid.

These are better made in small batches. Do not try to double amounts.
NOTES : This recipe came from Czechoslovakia with a refugee family
many years ago.
