Ingredients 250 ml of water 300 g sugar 1 packet of vanilla sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) 500 g almonds (preferably Mampfaldeln ) |
Tip If you didn't use chewy almonds, roast the almonds in the oven for 15 minutes beforehand. This will give the roasted almonds an even better flavor. |
How it works
- Bring water to a boil in the pan.
- In the meantime, mix the sugar with vanilla sugar and cinnamon.
- When the water boils, stir the sugar-cinnamon mixture into the boiling water.
- Allow to simmer briefly until it reaches a light syrup consistency.
- Now add the almonds.
- Continue to bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the syrup from burning.
- A thick, glassy mixture is formed. Now be careful! Just a moment longer and the sugar will crystallize again. You can tell this by the typical texture of roasted almonds, the whitish color and the crystal structure.
- Place the almonds on a baking tray lined with baking paper to cool.
- The sugar is still very hot, don't burn your nose while snacking!
Tip
- Beautifully packaged, your homemade roasted almonds make an ideal gift.
