1 1/4 c. sugar 1/4 tsp. cardamom (powder) 1 c. blanched almonds 2 drops food coloring 1 stick butter
Make the syrup with sugar and equal amount of water. Grind the almonds to a dry fine powder in the blender. Add the almond powder to the syrup and cook, stirring constantly. Add the butter gradually. After the mixture thickens to the desired consistency (when it bubbles and doesn't stick to the pot), add cardamom and coloring. Then pour it in a pan and cut into pieces.
