Recipe of Turrón de Jijona

Join me and let's see how to make Turrón de Jijona

Instructions:

Step 1
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground almonds and ground cinnamon.
Step 2
• 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.
Step 3
• While the sugar and honey mixture is simmering, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form.
Step 4
• 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.
Step 5
• Gently fold in the beaten egg white, ensuring the mixture becomes fluffy and well mixed.
Step 6
• Line a mold or baking dish with parchment paper and transfer the nougat mixture into it. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7
• Let it cool at room temperature for a few hours, or until it sets and becomes firm.
Step 8
• 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!
