Ingredients

• 2 cups/300 g un-peeled almonds

• 1 tsp vanilla extract/essence

• 2 tbsp almond oil

---

Method:

1. Place the sugar in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium low heat.

2. Stir in the almonds and vanilla. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the sugar begins to stick to the almonds.

3. The mixture should become semi liquid and the almonds will begin to stick together.

4. Grease a marble surface with the almond oil. Pour the mixture onto the surface and let cool to warm.

5. Use a metal spatula to work the mixture until it is about 1/2-inch (1-cm) thick. Leave until almost, but not completely, cool.

6. Use a long sharp knife to cut the nougat into bars. Set aside for 12 hours in a cool place before serving.
