Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 " Does anyone have Elaine's recipe for almond rocca that Lucy Rossett sent her? I lost my copy. " I honestly can't remember if I already added it to Pecanbread.com or not... but the archives on Lyris can still be searched and I am sure that you can find it there.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Would this work with cocnut butter instead of butter? jody Here is the Almond Rocca recipe. ALMOND ROCCA 1-1/3 cups butter 1 cup honey 2 cups roasted almond slices (275 degrees F for 15 minutes) **************************** Cook butter and honey over medium heat to 'hard crack' temp (300 degrees F) Add the almonds, stirring over heat for 1 minute. Pour onto buttered cookie sheet. Refrigerate, to cool. Crack, by hitting with the back of a large spoon. Use spatula to remove from sheet, then refrigerate the pieces. This candy tasted like the inside part of a Heath Bar! And has that same crunch (not too hard). Next time I might try adding 3 of the almonds. Careful I here it is habit forming!!

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Jody I have not used coconut butter in baking yet but I can't see why not. I have seen others posts that it is delicious in baked goods and that you would use slightly less. I think I read that if a recipe calls for 1 cup butter you would use 3/4 cup coconut butter. But you may want to wait for some one with some experience to answer.
