1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups almonds, blanched and chopped
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 egg whites, beaten stiff

Heat sugar in a saucepan until it begins to color, stir in almonds, and salt; pour into a buttered dish to cool.

When cool, pound to a powder, put through a sieve and fold into egg white; pour into a buttered mold, cover, and place mold in a pan of boiling water.

Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees F.) about 45 minutes.

Serve 6.
