Instructions

Have all the ingredients prepared and close. A lined flat tray and the toasted nuts
Toss the salt with the nuts
Put the sugar and the 1 Tablespoon of water and the drops of lemon into a heavy bottomed pot on a medium heat.Swirl the pot a couple of times to spread the water and saturate the sugar without stirring. Once the sugar starts to heat swirl again. If the sugar colours on the edges just swirl gently. This syrup will start to boil and will start to quickly colour. Let it colour to a deep golden before adding the nuts. The deeper the colour the better ( be careful black doesn't taste good. Don't forget it will keep cooking when taken off the heat
Pour straight onto a tray. and tip to spread . DO NOT TOUCH THE CARAMEL.
