Imitation of Natural Green Almonds

Prepare a cooked almond paste the same as explained in the Elementary Methods (No. 125); flavor it with orange flower water and tinge it to a light green color. Mold this paste into mediumsized olive shapes, split them lengthwise through the center and in the crack lay a fine white almond; mold and work the paste to have it assume the form of a natural green almond, then lay them as fast as done on a wire sieve and place in the heater to dry. When finished leave to get cold and glaze over with sugar cooked to "crack" (No. 171).
