Instructions

First, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Put the almonds into a (preferably) steel skillet, add sugar, and water. You should use a quite large low sided skillet.
Cook over high medium heat stirring constantly with a wooden or melamine spoon.
At the beginning the mixture will be very liquid and it will hardly stick to the peanuts. Do not worry, that’s ok. When it starts boiling, it will crystallize and it will coat the fruit.
Low the heat and cook until the sugar gets amber.
When the sugar starts melting, and gets shiny, remove from the heat; be very careful not burn the sugar.
When the almonds gets amber (do not burn them, otherwise they will be sour), and the sugary coating has glazed, turn the mixture into the baking sheet. Spread the almonds carefully in a single layer to cool.
When completely cool, divide them individually.
