Yield: 3 cups

Ingredients

3 cups whole almonds, raw

1 cup sugar

1/2 tbsp cinnamon

1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet or pot combine the sugar, cinnamon and water over medium-high heat until the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Add the almonds and stir constantly with a spoon or spatula, coating the almonds with the syrupy mixture.
  3. Keep stirring until the sugar crystallizes (this takes about 8-10 minutes) and it looks sandy. Don’t stop stirring!
  4. Remove the pan from heat and scoop the almonds onto wax or parchment paper.
  5. Let the cinnamon almonds cool for a few minutes before serving.
