Ingredients
- one pound of almonds
- one pound of sugar
Directions
Sift all the dust from one pound of almonds, add one pound of sugar, and place on the fire to boil until it cracks ; take off and stir with a spatula, that the sugar may grain and become hard and dry ; then put all into a coarse wire sieve and sift off all the loose sugar ; also, separate those which stick together ; put the almonds into the kettle and return to the fire, stirring until brown ; then take off; boil again the grained sugar, till it cracks, then put in the almonds and stir with the spatula as before. Sift and separate a second time. Give them a third coat if you choose. Whilst boiling, use prepared cochineal to color the sugar.
