ALMOND ROCK, Feel a quarter of a pound of almonds; if dropped into hot water th? ekins will come off easily. Dry the nuts on a tin plate near the'fire, but do not let them discolour. When dry, cut them in halves. Now put one pound of Demerara sugar into a saucepan with a small teacupful of cold water. When the sugar has melted, bring the syrup to the boil, stirring gently all the time, then add a piece of butter the size of an egg, but cut into little pieces. Boil for about a quarter of an hour, or till a little of the toffee tried in cold water hardens at once.
Remove the saucepan from the fire, stir in the almonds, then turn the almond rock on to a 'buttered tin, and leave till quite cold.
