Ingredients

• 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

Directions

• 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 (theyre hot!) over a sheet of wax paper, doing your best to separate them out.
• Sprinkle with remaining salt and let cool. Enjoy!
