Sugared almonds, as the name suggests, are plain almonds coated in a sugar candy. They originated in Italy, and are typical of a town called Sulmona. Also known as Jordan almonds, they are given to guests at Italian weddings, and are usually white, pale pink or pale blue, and are wrapped in matching tulle tied with a ribbon. In Italy, five sugar coated almonds are traditionally given to guests representing health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and long life. Sugar coated almonds are one of our favorite treats to make especially for Christmas like these candied pecans or candied walnuts. If you have tried the popular cinnamon roasted nuts at the mall kiosk, then this homemade recipe is going to be your new favorite treat. Chu, Anita. Field Guide to Candy: How to Identify and Make Virtually Every Candy Imaginable. Philadelphia: Quirk, 2009. Making traditional sugar coated almond bombonieres couldn’t be easier. You can bulk buy the almonds and then cut out circles of coloured tulle, place five almonds in the centre and gather the tulle up around them, tying it with a ribbon. These almonds are perfect for salads with sweet ingredients (like fruit) and or sweet dressings. I love them in salads with mandarin oranges or strawberries (like the strawberry spinach salad I'll be sharing on Monday).

In a small sauce or frying pan, stir sugar and almonds together over medium heat. Continue stirring until sugar melts and the almonds are coated. Remove from heat, and pour them onto a plate or bowl to cool. Other chocolate dragées with multi-colored candy shells are M&M's. Initially designed to allow easy transport and consumption of chocolate for the U.S. military, they have evolved into a popular candy, but are also sold as decorative dragées in 25 different colors. Absolutely! Slivered or sliced nuts works just as well, although they have to be broken into pieces like a brittle. INGREDIENTS (Scroll down to the bottom of the post for full recipe) Jordan almonds are thought to originate in ancient Rome, where honey-covered almonds were introduced by a Roman baker and confectioner named Julius Dragatus. His confections were called dragati and were served by nobility at weddings and births. [7] When sugar became more readily available in the 15th century, the nuts were coated in sugar instead. In Sulmona, Italy, the technique of creating the dragée almonds called Confetti di Sulmona was perfected by the Pelino family. [6] If you have another idea for your bomboniere but still want to incorporate sugar coated almonds in your wedding arrangements, you can simply place some around the reception venue and on the wedding breakfast tables. Use large martini glasses, glass bowls, or oversized jars to place the almonds in and put a sign or note with them asking guests to take five to represent health, wealth, happiness, fertility and longevity.

Think of those first few minutes of stirring as time to toast the nuts before the sugar melts. And--if you really want a challenge--try holding a camera with one hand, stirring with the other, and watching the whole process through the camera lens! (I wouldn't recommend it!) I was pretty proud that I got decent pictures, and didn't let the almonds burn.
