Title: Almond Dragées
Categories: Five, Nuts, Candy, Chilies
Yield: 1 Cup

1/2 c Water
1 c White sugar
2 tb Chile powder *
1 c Raw almonds

* Use ground green jalapeno for green candies and ground
red (ripe) jalapeno for red candies.

In a wok, heat the water and sugar together. Allow the
sugar to melt.

Once the sugar has melted, add the chile and the almonds.
Stir constantly. Allow the excess syrup to evaporate.

Once all the almonds are evenly coated with syrup, pour
them onto a baking tray lined with wax paper.

Spread the almonds evenly on the tray, separating them
sothey won't stick together.

Set the oven at 120ºF/49ºC and insert the tray of almonds
for roasting.

Allow the almonds to roast for 30 minutes or until they
are thoroughly dry.

Remove the tray from the oven and allow the almonds to
cool.

NOTE: If the coating colour isn't "intense" enough for
your liking - a drops of food colouring added during the
coating and stirring stage will work wonders. - UDD
