Take half a pound of blanched and finely-chopped or
shredded dried almonds, half a pound of castor sugar and
two tablespoonfuls of strained lemon juice; put the sugar
and lemon juice in a stewpan together and boil them till a
nice golden colour, stirring all the time, then mix in the
almonds, stir on the fire till the mixture reboils, then use
