Stuffed Walnuts
- 1 1/3 cups ground almonds
- 2/3 cup superfine sugar
- 23 tablespoons orange-blossom water, or more
- 20 shelled walnuts or 40 walnut halves
- 2/3 cup sugar
- Make a firm paste by mixing the ground almonds, superfine sugar, and orange-blossom water and kneading it with your hands.
- Take about 1 heaping teaspoon of the paste and press it between 2 walnut halves.
- Place these on an oiled surface (a marble slab, a plate, a pastry sheet will do).
- Make some caramel by heating and stirring the sugar until it melts and turns a light-brown color.
- Pour a little over each walnut.
- When it is cold and hard, it will hold the walnut halves together.
- Place in little paper cases to serve.
