Ingredients
1 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon of light corn syrup
1-1/2 cups of blanched almonds, toasted
Combine the sugar and corn syrup in a pan. Stir continuously until the mixture looks like wet sand. Set the pan over low heat and allow it to melt and caramelize. Stir the mixture for 15-20 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat.
Quickly stir in the almonds. Pour the hot croccante on a baking sheet and spread it out. Allow it to cool and harden.
After the croccante has cooled, break it into pieces to us as a candy.

Enjoy!

KANDINSKY EXHIBITION IN PISA

posted by Home In Italy on October 31st, 2012

Fifty works by Russian master Wassily Kandinsky (the “Father of Abstract Art”) will be on display in the Auditorium of Pisa’s Palazzo Blu until February, 2013. The exhibit retraces the years between 1901 and 1922, the period when Kandinsky left the Soviet Union.
The expo begins by guiding visitors through the artist’s first paintings, realized during the Symbolist movement – to the works from the Murnau period. It ends with the largest canvases created during the few years in which Kandinsky – with his The Blue Rider – became the point of unity between the Western and Russian avant-garde movements.
