Ingredients

Parchment Paper

8 oz honey

2 egg whites

1 cup sugar

2 Tbsp water

1 lb blanched almonds

1/2 lb hazelnuts

2 tsp candied orange peel, diced

1 tsp grated lemon zest

Directions

Cook the honey in a double boiler for 1 1/2 hours stirring frequently. Beat the egg whites to the point of stiff peaks, and fold it into the honey.

In a separate pan, mix the sugar and water and bring it to a boil without stirring. It should turn caramel in color. Mix this by slowly pouring into the honey while stirring. Cool it until slightly thickened and then add in remaining ingredients.

Line 3 6x8 pans with parchment paper. Divide the mixture amongst the pans, pouring to a 2" depth. Cover with parchment paper and let set for 20 minutes. Cut into squares or bars to serve.

I make torrone at Christmas and use edible wafer paper rather than the parchment. I buy it on line and there are several sites for it. We had an exchange student from Italy 3 years ago and her dad sent us torrone all the time. She was from the town where torrone was first made. OMG...nothing like what we get here! But homemeade is very good.
