One of my favorite....and healthy... go-to snacks. I also make them for Christmas and for parties and they go very quickly. Best part about this sugared almond recipe is NO oil or butter. I included pictures to help you see how the almonds cook, because if you don't cook them long enough, they will just be a sticky mess! This recipe was given to me by my running trainer who is also a nutrion specialist!
Sugared Almonds
Ingredients:
1 cup. raw sugar (or white, I'm told, but I've never used it in this recipe)
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp. cinnamon
2-3 cups almonds
Directions:
1. heat sugar, water and cinnamon in pan over med. heat - bring to a boil.
2. add almonds and reduce heat to med-low. stir often!
3. cook until liquid has evaporated (this can take 10-20 minutes). NOTE: The liquid will turn into a syrup and then eventually sugarize. DON'T remove until the syrup sugarizes!!
4. Pour almonds on wax paper and let cool. AMAZING!!!!!!! Let them cool completely. I tried them when they were warm and they almost seemed soggy.
