Ingredients
250g Almonds, blanched
250g Siúcra Granulated Sugar
75ml Water
For the Orange and Spice Flavoring
peel of 1 Orange
1/2 tbsp ground Cinnamon
1 tsp ground Cardamom

For the Liquorice and Salt Flavoring
60g Siúcra Icing Sugar

Instructions
Add the almonds, granulated sugar and water to a saucepan. Turn the heat up high until the water boils and the mass starts to bubble.

The sugar should melt but only such that it forms clumps around the nuts.
Tip the almonds out onto grease-proof paper and separate using a fork.
