  1. A great little topping we used on vanilla ice cream. I cooked the sugar water to 325, added equal portions of almonds, hazelnuts, and walnuts and used my mini processor to pulverize to a coarse sandy texture. Very nice, with the summer months around the corner I'm sure to be making this for the grandkids and their never-ending demands for ice cream. TFS. Made for New Kids on the Block, a tag game.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in a beautiful village on the island of Malta ( Europe) with my wonderful daughter, partner and two cats. I love the vineyards infront of my house or walking down to the valley of olive trees. ( I do pick olives every year) Some years ago I stopped working as a chef but still do a lot of home cooking. What I miss are the expensive ingredients I worked with, its rather hard cooking on a tight budget. My aim is to produce recipes that are very economical and yet nutritious. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> <embed src="http://babystrology.com/tickers/baby-ticker-glass.swf?parent=Mommy&year=2010&month=7&day=28&babycount=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="120" height="180"></embed>
