How to Make Turrón de Jijona
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground almonds and ground cinnamon.
- In a saucepan, heat the honey and granulated sugar over low heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- While the sugar and honey mixture is simmering, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form.
- Once the honey-sugar mixture has simmered for 5 minutes, remove it from the heat and gradually fold it into the almond mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Gently fold in the beaten egg white, ensuring the mixture becomes fluffy and well mixed.
- Line a mold or baking dish with parchment paper and transfer the nougat mixture into it. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Let it cool at room temperature for a few hours, or until it sets and becomes firm.
- Once the Turrón de Jijona has set, cut it into small squares or rectangles, and it's ready to serve. Enjoy this sweet almond delight!
