Brazil-Nuts Pralines

Put one pound of shelled Brazil-nuts into a pan over the fire with a little water and one pound of loaf sugar and let them boil until they begin to sparkle, then remove the pan from the fire and with a wooden spoon stir the nuts well until the sugar begins to feel gritty; put them over a slow fire in order to dissolve the sugar again and keep on stirring that the nuts may get well covered with sugar, and when they turn reddish and are sufficiently well covered with sugar take from the fire, pour them onto a sieve, cover the sieve with a clean cloth and place it in the oven; this will dry the sugar on the nuts and cause them to look glossy.
