Haselnut Sweet
1 kilo Roasted haselnut
Sugar syrup

Mix 2 cups sugar with one cup water and one teaspoon lemon juice.

Boil the mixture till it thickens and sticks on the back of the spoon (or, when you drop a small amount of the syrup in cold water, it forms a firm ball).

Put the haselnuts over the syrup and stir for five minutes on low heat.

Grease an 8 inch square pan with butter.

Pour the haselnut mixture in it and leave it to cool for 10 minutes.

Cut the sweet into one inch square pieces and offer them with a cup of hot coffee.
