Title: Amigthalota (Almond Pears)
Ingredients:
30 Servings
Karen Mintzias
2 Drops Almond Essence
3 Cup Ground Almonds
Whole Cloves
1/2 Cup Icing Sugar; Sifted
Additional Icing Sugar
1/4 Cup Egg Whites (1/4 C = 2 Whites
Rose Or Orange Flower Water
1/2 Tsp Grated Lemon Rind, Optional
Method of Preparation:
Makes: 30 Cooking time: 20 minutes Oven temperature: 160 C (325 F) Blend ground almonds with icing sugar measured after sifting. Add lightly beaten egg whites with lemon rind if used and almond essence. Mix to a firm dough with hands. Clean hands and rub with a little butter to prevent dough sticking while shaping. Break off small pieces of dough the size of a walnut and form into pear shapes. Insert a whole clove in the top of each to resemble a stem and place upright on a buttered and floured baking sheet. Bake in a moderately slow oven for 20 minutes, covering with brown paper if tops begin to brown. Sift 2 cups icing sugar into a bowl and dip hot Amigthalota into it. If desired, a little rose or orange flower water may be brushed onto Amigthalota before dipping into icing sugar. Place on a wire rack to cool. Sift remaining sugar from bowl into base of a container and arrange cooled Almond Pears upright in a single layer. Sift more sugar thickly over tops and sides, seal and store for a day or two before using.
