Ingredients

• 20 pieces Pitted prunes
• 20 pieces Roasted almonds
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 60 milliliters Water
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the prunes by gently opening each one with your fingers and inserting a roasted almond into the center of each prune. Ensure the almond is fully concealed within the prune and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar before placing the pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Cook the mixture without stirring until the sugar has dissolved and begins to caramelize. Swirl the pan occasionally to ensure even cooking. Keep a close eye on the caramel as it deepens in color to a rich amber, taking care not to let it burn.

Step 4

If desired, stir in the unsalted butter to create a smoother and glossier caramel (optional). Remove the pan from heat.

Step 5

Using a fork or skewer, carefully dip each almond-stuffed prune into the caramel, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess caramel drip off before transferring the prunes to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 6

Repeat this process until all of the prunes have been coated in caramel. Work quickly, as the caramel will harden as it cools.

Step 7

Allow the caramel-coated prunes to cool and harden completely at room temperature, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the Acaramelados Almond Stuffed Prunes on a platter as a decadent treat or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
