Ingredients:
- 1 cup of honey
- 2 cups of sugar
- 1/4 cup of water
- 2 egg whites
- 2 cups of whole almonds
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract
- 1 cup of dried fruits (such as cranberries, cherries, or apricots)
- 1 cup of candied citrus peel
Instructions:
To begin, line a 9x9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper and set aside. In a large saucepan, combine the honey, sugar, and water over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar has dissolved, then allow the mixture to come to a boil. Using a candy thermometer, monitor the temperature until it reaches 280 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Slowly pour the hot sugar mixture into the egg whites, while continuing to beat until the mixture becomes thick and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and almond extract, and mix until well combined.
Next, fold in the whole almonds, dried fruits, and candied citrus peel. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to smooth out the top. Let it cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until the nougat has set and is firm to the touch.
Once the nougat is completely cooled, remove it from the pan and cut it into desired shapes using a sharp knife. You can also wrap the pieces in parchment paper or plastic wrap for a more traditional presentation.
