Serves: 4
- 1½ cups raw almonds
- ¼ cup granulated white sugar
- ⅓ cup lime juice (about 3 limes)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ cup water
- Have a saute pan and small sauce pan on the stove and a colander at hand.
- Combine the sugar, ½ tablespoon salt, honey and water in the small saucepan and heat over medium heat.
- Stir over the heat until the solids dissolve and the mixture thickens - about 8-10 minutes.
- Toss the almonds in the mixture to coat.
- With a potholder, strain the sauce into the saucepan and let the almonds sit in the colander over the saucepan to catch excess drippings.
- Add the lime juice to the sauce and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes until reduced.
- Add in the almonds and cook, continuously stirring for another 5 minutes until the sauce has caramelized.
- Spread your almonds (they're hot!) over a sheet of wax paper, doing your best to separate them out.
- Sprinkle with remaining salt and let cool. Enjoy!
