Summary

Name: Honig Brät Mandeln (honey Roasted Almonds)

Category: Oktoberfest

2 cups whole almonds, skin on

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp salt

2 Tbsp. honey

2 Tbsp. water

2 tsp. almond or vegetable oil

Spread the almonds in a single layer in a shallow ungreased baking pan and place

in cold oven. Bake at 350º F, stirring occasionally, until the internal color of the

nuts is tan to light brown, 12 to 15 minutes. (The nuts will continue roast a little

more after they are removed from the oven.) Set the roasted almonds aside.

Thoroughly mix the sugar and salt. Stir together the honey, water and oil in a

medium−size saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir in the roasted

almonds and continue to cook and stir until all of the liquid has been absorbed by

the nuts, about 5 minutes. Immediately transfer the almonds to a medium−size bowl

into which some sugar mixture has been sprinkled. Sprinkle the remaining sugar

mixture over the almonds and toss until they are evenly coated. Spread the almonds

out on wax paper. When cool, store at room temperature in a tightly covered

container or plastic bag for up to two weeks. Makes 2 cups.
