Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 pound almond paste, broken up to facilitate melting
- Ghee, prepared from 8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, recipe follows
- 1/4 cup sliced or slivered almonds, chopped finer
Instructions
- In a heavy 4 quart pot, combine the sugar and water and boil together until candy thermometer registers 225 degrees F and a small amount of the syrup forms a thin thread between the thumb and forefinger when carefully sampled from the stirrer.
- Reduce heat to medium and stir in the almond paste with 1/4 cup ghee. Stir in the rest of the ghee in 1/4 cup increments until all of it has been absorbed. Keep stirring over medium to medium low heat; the mixture will become a single mass and will roll around in the pan. If the mixture begins to brown, lower the heat. Continue stirring until the mixture becomes porous and starts to appear drier this can take up to 10 minutes.
- Spread the mixture in an ungreased 9-inch square baking pan and press into 1/2 inch thickness. Immediately sprinkle with the almonds, gently pressing them into the surface. While still warm, cut into 36 squares or diamond shapes.
- Serve at room temperature.
- A wonderful candy-like sweet that tastes like marzipan with the added richness of ghee. It has a firm texture like fudge will keep for 2 to 3 days in an airtight container.
