August 15, 2008, Newsletter Issue #239: Passover Honey Nut Candy
Tip of the Week
This recipe from Mimi Sheraton is really fabulous.
1 cup honey
2 cups sugar
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. powdered ginger
grated rind of 1/2 orange
1-1/2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
In heavy 2 quart saucepan, combine the honey, sugar, lemon juice and ginger and stir gently until mixed. Place over low heat and cook slowly, stirring constantly until sugar is melted. Raise heat slightly and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until mixture turns deep golden brown and forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water (234 degrees on a candy thermometer).
Remove from heat and stir in the orange peel and nuts. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Pour onto a platter which has been sprinkled with cold water. Spread the mixture with a wet spatula to even it out. It should harden to a taffylike consistency within 2-3 hours. Cut into 1" squares.
