From California Almonds, this recipe was a huge hit at my Christmas party last year. It's simple to make and would make great gifts. Time does not include cooling down after rolling in sugar.
Ingredients:
2 cups whole natural almonds
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup turbinado sugar (sugar in the raw)
Directions:
1. Spread almonds in a shallow pan.
2. Place in a cold oven; turn oven to 350 degrees and roast almonds 12 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until almonds are well roasted.
3. (I take them out when I can smell them).
4. Over medium heat in a medium saucepan, heat honey and butter to boiling.
5. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Add almonds; simmer and stir for 2 minutes.
7. Using a slotted spoon, transfer almonds to a baking sheet coated with Pam (I used parchment paper instead); spread in a single layer and let cool slightly.
8. Toss almonds with turbinado sugar to coat.
