Number Of Ingredients 5

vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 cups almonds (10 ounces)
1 whole lemon, washed and dried

Steps:

  • 1 Brush a marble surface or a metal baking sheet with neutral-flavored vegetable oil. 2 In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and honey. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar begins to melt, about 20 minutes. Bring to a simmer and cook without stirring 5 minutes more or until the syrup is clear. 3 Add the nuts and cook until the syrup is amber-colored, about 3 minutes. Carefully pour the hot syrup onto the prepared surface, using the lemon to smooth the nuts to a single layer. Let cool completely. When the brittle is cool and hard, after about 30 minutes, slide a thin metal spatula underneath it. Lift the brittle and break it into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Store in airtight containers at room temperature. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc.
