They are virtually a must at every fair and are a delight for young and old alike: caramelised almonds. But what to do when there’s currently neither fair nor market nearby? Just make them at home! It’s really quite simple – we’ll show you how.
Ingredients
- 100 g almonds with skin, whole
- 50-100 g sugar
- 0.25-0.5 dl water
- spices of choice e.g. vanilla, cinnamon, gingerbread spice etc.
Servings: 200 g
Units:
Instructions
- Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Place the almonds, sugar, water and spices (if using) in a cast iron or chrome steel pan, mix briefly.
- Bring to the boil without stirring.
- Then reduce heat and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the water evaporates and the sugar is dry.
- Then continue stirring until the sugar melts and has nicely coated the almonds. This takes about 5 minutes.
- Then immediately transfer the almonds to the baking paper and spread them out with two forks. Leave to cool.
Recipe Notes
The almonds will keep for about 1 month in an airtight container.
Tip: If there is still some caramel left in the pan, you can easily dissolve it by adding some water and bringing it to the boil.
