Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups almonds
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon
  • Zest of 1/2 lemon

Instructions
 

  • Step#1- In a medium saucepan add sugar and water, bring to a boil and keep stirring. Keep the flame on medium because you don’t want to burn the sugar.
  • Step#2- Once it turns golden color add almonds, cinnamon, and lemon zest.
  • Step#3- Continue stirring until the color turns a golden brown. Be very careful because it’s extremely hot.
  • Step#4- You can line a small cookie sheet with parchment paper and pour the mixture in (I gently grease the granite counter and pour it on).
  • Step#5- Cut the lemon in half and use the wet side to push down on the Torrone to give it shape.
  • Step#6- Help yourself with a knife or dough scraper. I usually form a 1-inch tall block rectangle.
  • Let it cool down completely and then cut in cubes or any shape you like.
    Enjoy!
