- 1 pound blanched almonds
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Force blanched almonds through fine blade of food chopper 4 times, or whirl in electric blender. Add lemon juice. Cook water and sugar until candy thermometer registers 240 degrees F or until it forms the soft ball stage. Add to ground almonds. Mix well. When cool enough to handle, knead until smooth. Cool. Pack in jar; cover, and store in refrigerator for at least 1 week to ripen.
