Sugar Roasted Almonds
(Menduli u cukru)
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup (app. 200g) almonds, unshelled and raw
½ cup (app. 120g) water
1 cup (app. 200g) white sugar
INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a large (preferably non-stick) pan heat the water and sugar. Stir the sugar until it dissolves.
- Add the almonds and stir, keeping the heat on high.
- The mixture will get thicker with time. Stir until all the water is gone and the sugar sticks to the almonds (This process takes app. 10-15 minutes). Do not let the sugar melt too much or it won't stick to the almonds. You can reduce the heat towards the end.
- Don't try them yet, because they are very, very hot! Place the almonds on a wet kitchen board / onto an oven tray lined with baking sheet to cool off.
- Use a knife to separate almonds from each other so that they don't stick together when they are cooled.
