      Title: Cigares D'isra"El
 Categories: Dessert, Israel, Jewish
      Yield: 70 Servings
 
      3 c  Sugar
  1 1/2 c  Water
      2 tb Lemon juice
           Honey; to taste
           Lemon juice; to taste
      2 c  Ground almonds
      2 tb Sugar
      1 ts Cinnamon
      1 ts Orange peel; grated fine
      1 lb Wonton skins
           Vegetable oil; for frying
    1/2 c  Pistachios; chopped
 
  Mix sugar, water, and lemon juice in a nonreactive saucepan. Bring to
  the boil and cook until a candy thermometer reads 216 F (102 C). Take
  off heat, let cool slightly, and stir in honey and lemon juice to
  taste. Set aside.
  
  Mix thoroughly: almonds, sugar, cinnamon, and peel.
  
  Take a wonton skin and spread 1 T almond filling across the bottom,
  leaving room at the sides so you can tuck in the edges. Tuck in the
  edges and roll up jelly-roll fashion. Moisten the end with a little
  water to seal. The result is a thin cylinder.
  
  Heat at least 1" of oil to 350 F (176 C). Fry rolls a few at a time
  until golden on all sides, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  Remove to a large rimmed tray or baking sheet. Drizzle with the
  syrup and let stand 1 hour. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and serve.
