Rosemary Fleur De Sel Almond Toffee Rsc Recipes

ROSEMARY FLEUR DE SEL ALMOND TOFFEE #RSC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line a 10x15 inch baking pan with Reynolds Aluminum Foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine chopped almonds with 2 teaspoons of the chopped, fresh rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread onto the foil lined baking pan and roast in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Cool almonds in the pan spreading almonds evenly over the bottom.
• In a 5- to 6-quart pan over medium-low heat, stir sugar, butter, honey, fleur de sel, and 3/4 cup water until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is deep golden brown (300 degrees on a candy thermometer), 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully stir in the vanilla extract. Carefully pour the hot candy over the top of the roasted almonds in the foil lined pan. Let toffee cool at room temperature until set, at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place chocolate in the top of a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl. Bring a few inches of water to a simmer in the bottom of double boiler or a pan that the bowl can nest in; remove the pan from the heat. Place chocolate over the heated water an let stand, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, about 10 minutes.
• Pour chocolate over cooled toffee and with a knife or spatula, spread the chocolate evenly.
• Combine remaining 2 teaspoons of chopped, fresh rosemary with 1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel. Sprinkle mixture evenly over the top of the chocolate covered toffee and let stand at room temperature until chocolate is set (or chill about 30 minutes). Break candy into pieces and slide them off the foil into an airtight storage container. Can be stored at room temperature for 2 days or chilled up to one month.

MAPLE ROASTED ALMONDS WITH FLEUR DE SEL LES FOUGERES

Steps:

• Toss almonds with maple syrup. Add oil and toss to coat.
• Spread on parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 325 until fragrant and syrup has thickened and coated the nuts, about 20 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes.
• Remove from oven and sprinkle with salt IMMEDIATELY before the syrup hardens and so they can adhere. Let cool on pan. Break any clumps apart and package in jars. Store airtight at room temperature.

FLEUR DE SEL CARAMELS- BAREFOOT CONTESSA

Steps:

• Line the bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan (or loaf pan) with parchment paper, then brush the paper lightly with oil, allowing the paper to drape over 2 sides.
• In a deep saucepan (6 inches diameter by 4 1/2 inches deep) combine the sugar, corn syrup, and 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue to boil until the caramel is a warm golden brown color. Don't stir - just swirl the pan to mix. Watch carefully, as it will burn quickly at the end!
• In the meantime, bring the cream, butter, and 1 teaspoon fleur de sel to a simmer in a small pan over medium heat. Remove from the heat, set aside and keep warm.
• When the caramelized sugar is the right color, slowly add the cream mixture to the caramel - it will boil up violently. Stir in the vanilla with a wooden spoon and cook over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until the mixture reaches 248 degrees F (firm ball) on a candy thermometer. Very carefully (it's hot!) pour the caramel into the prepared pan and refrigerate until firm.
• When the caramels are cool, use the parchment paper to pry the sheet from the pan onto a cutting board. Starting at 1 end, roll the caramel up tightly until you've rolled up half of the sheet. Cut the sheet across and then roll the second half tightly. You will have 2 (1 by 8-inch) logs. Sprinkle both logs lightly with fleur de sel, cut each log in 8 pieces. Cut parchment papers in 6 by 4 1/2-inch squares and wrap each caramel in a paper, twisting the ends. Store in the refrigerator or at room temperature.

LEMON GLAZED ROSEMARY ALMOND SHORTBREAD #RSC

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, rosemary, almonds and lemon zest in a bowl.
• Mix together, butter, honey and 1/2 cup of the confectioners sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at low speed, then add the flour mixture and mix until the ingredients are just incorporated.
• Lay a roughly 12 x 17 inch sheet of Reynolds Wrap Foil onto a work surface. Dump the dough onto the center of the foil and with your hands form the dough into a roll approximately 12 inches long. Wrap the roll with the foil, using the foil as an aid to further compress the dough. Chill the dough in the foil for 1 hour.
• Unwrap the chilled dough and slice it carefully with a sharp knife into 1/3 inch rounds. Place rounds onto an ungreased Reynolds Wrap Foil lined baking sheet and bake in a 300 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges of the shortbread are golden brown. Cool the shortbread in the pan.
• Meanwhile combine the remaining 1/2 cup confectioners sugar with the lemon juice. Drizzle over the cooled shortbread. Use the foil liner to wrap and store the shortbread if desired.

ALMOND TOFFEE

Steps:

• Using a heavy cooking pot, add the sugar and water, and without stirring, bring the mixture to a temperature of 230*.
• On an electric stove the burner is kept on high the entire time. (When I make it on a gas stove I also keep the burner on high flame.).
• When the temperature reaches 230* add the butter, 1 stick at a time, stirring constantly in a figure 8 until each is melted.
• Add 2 cups of whole raw almonds and continue cooking until the mixture is a caramel color.
• Pour onto a buttered cookie sheet (NO NOT scrape the pot!) and immediately set on packed snow, or float in ice water to cool.(If there was no snow, Susan added water and lots of ice to the bathtub.).
• Melt the 2 chocolate bars in a microwave. Grind the 1 1/3 cup raw almonds fine or put them in a blender.
• After the candy has cooled, spread with the chocolate, and dust heavily with the ground almonds. Turn over and repeat on the other side. Let stand for a few hours to 'set'. Break into pieces and ENJOY!
• I have no idea how many servings this would be called -- .
