Maple Roasted Almonds With Fleur De Sel Les Fougeres

"These are yummy with drinks, or as a snack. Fleur de sel is formed on the top of evaporating sea water. You can find it in spice shops or specialty shops. Otherwise sea salt should work, perhaps crushed a little. The restaurant in Chelsea Quebec sell these and have often sold out. Edited to add the timing of adding the salt..dont wait til the syrup hardens."

  1. I love this recipe. The only thing I changed was that I cooked them at a lower temperature for longer. The almonds became nice and crispy and the maple syrup crystallized in just a beautiful way. When I cooked at a higher temperature, the outside would start to burn before the almonds were really nice and crispy. I keep a close eye.
     
  2. My #1 recipes of all the times. I master it to perfection. I mean timing as the recipe is just perfect as written. I stir it first time after 10 minutes and after that after 5 minutes and when it looks antsy /term which I made - it looks like many small bubbles are just attached to almonds/ It's the right time to take it out and add salt.I bake it in my oven at 350. I found fleur de sel in COSTCO.I made it at least 30x so far.
     
  3. Delicious and very easy! I couldn't find fleur de sel, so I did use the sea salt, crushed. This was very simple and the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Thank you! I'll be making this again!
     
  4. On several occasions, I have made gifts of seasoned nuts and wanted a combination that was mild yet flavorful. With simple ingredients, these turned out just beautifully and I especially loved the the sweet-salt combination here. The maple syrup was a really nice change from the more common honey. My nuts took about 18 minutes to the perfect roasted state so I would suggest staying close by in the last few minutes. Also, you really want to sprinkle the salt immediately after removing the nuts from the oven to make sure they adhere. In my case I used about 2 teaspoons, more than I expected but in good balance with the sweetness. In coming back to review, i realized I forgot to add the oil, but I don't think the nuts suffered. Thanks Marra.

http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/527607/cookswithcattitude.jpg I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more. I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking. My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Stockingswapcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/cookbookswap.jpg"> <img src="http://www.caymandesigns.com/foodothers/fallswap.jpg">
