Compote of Hazel Nuts

After cracking, carefully remove the kernels from some freshly gathered hazel nuts; put them on a dish, squeeze over a few drops of lemon juice, and leave them for an hour or two. Drain the nuts free from the juice, arrange them in a pyramid in a compote-dish, pour over thick syrup flavored with noyeau, and serve.
