  1. Since THE day for sweethearts is coming up I thought maybe I'd get us started on recipes for Valentine's Day....from "The Perfect Cheesecake"....serves 8-10.
  2. Place oven rack in center of oven; heat to 350 . Place almonds in single layer in ungreased shallow baking pan. Bake, shaking pan occasionally, til almonds are golden brown, about 6min. Remove almonds from pan; cold completely.
  3. Brush a baking sheet very lightly w/ oil; reserve.
  4. Combine 1-1/4C of sugar and the water in heavy non aluminum 1-1/2qt pan.
  5. Cook over medium heat til sugar is dissolved. Cover pan; simmer 3min.
  6. Uncover pan. Cook over medium heat, swirling syrup constantly, til it begins to smell fragrant and to color slightly.
  7. Add in 1-1/4C of almonds to syrup and stir quickly w/ metal spoon. Continue cooking, stirring gently once or possibly twice, only til mix is golden brown. Immediately pour onto reserved baking sheet; cold praline to room temp.
