Notities

Sugared Sliced Almonds:

Place 1 to 1.5 cups sliced almonds in nonstick fry pan. Add 2 to 3 Tbsp. Sugars. Stir and cook over low to medium heat until starts to crisp and sugar starts to melt. Nuts will turn a golden brown color. Be sure to stir constantly—for the first few minutes very little will happen but very quickly the nuts will brown and can then burn easily. You have to really watch them and keep stirring. Pour out onto a plate and let them cool and harden.
