Ingredients 250 ml water 300 g sugar 1 packet of vanilla sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) 500 g almonds (preferably crunchy almonds ) |
Tip If you didn't use almonds, roast them 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.
- Simmer briefly until a light syrup consistency is achieved.
- Now add the almonds.
- Continue to boil the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the syrup from burning.
- A thick, glassy mixture will form. Now be careful! Just a moment longer and the sugar will crystallize again. You'll recognize this by the typical texture of roasted almonds, its whitish color, and the crystal structure.
- Place the almonds on a baking sheet lined with parchment 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.
