TURON, FROM SPAIN



Turon, from Spain image

Traditional at the Christmas meal in Spain. The ingredients (in Spanish!) only ask for "I packet marzipan". UPDATE: I've included the marzipan recipe, the weights of which total 4 oz plus whatever an egg yolk weights in case you want to use pre-made marzipan. P.S. this recipe makes the hard Turon.

Categories     Candy

Time 20m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

450 g blanched almonds, toasted (1 lb, 4 cups)
225 g sugar (8 oz, 1 cup)
125 ml clear honey (1/2 cup)
50 g ground almonds (2 oz, 1/2 cup)
40 g icing, sugar (confectioners, 1 1/2 oz, 1/3 cup)
15 g tbsps sugar (1/2 oz, 1 1/2 Tbsp)
1 egg yolk
1 dash almond essence (extract)

Steps:

  • To make the marzipan, sift the almonds, icing (confectioners') sugar and sugar into a bowl. Mix lightly together. Gradually beat in the egg yolk and almond essence (extract), using a knife or a spatula to stir them inches Lightly dust a working surface with icing (confectioners') sugar. Turn the marzipan mixture out on to the working surface and knead it, pressing down and away from you with the heel of your hand, for 5 minutes or until the mixture is very smooth. Set the marzipan aside.
  • Combine the almonds, sugar and honey in a large saucepan and set the pan over very low heat. Cook the mixture until the sugar has dissolved, stirring constantly. Increase the heat to moderate and bring to the boil. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the marzipan. Beat the mixture until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  • Spoon the mixture into a well-greased 15 cm (6 in) by 23 cm (9 in) baking pan, and set aside to cool slightly. Mark the mixture into 4 cm (1 1/2 in) squares and leave aside to cool completely.
  • Remove the sweets (candies) from the pan and break them into squares. Either place the sweets (candies) on a serving plate, or wrap them in greaseproof or waxed paper and store until required.

  • Start by toasting the almonds on a tray in the oven. I usually start with the oven cold and turn it on to around 375ºF, letting the almonds warm up with the oven. Occasionally turn them, and turn the oven off when they start to turn a golden brown. You don't want to burn them!
  • Mix together the honey and sugar in a pan over low heat, and stir until the sugar is dissolved and well incorporated into the honey. If you have a candy thermometer, get it to somewhere between 240-250ºF (115-120ºC) before taking it off the heat. At this point, the temperature isn't too important because we will be adding more moisture from the egg white, but by reducing the moisture content right now, you'll save yourself a bit of time later.
  • As you continue to beat the egg white, slowly drizzle in the hot honey and sugar mixture. This will whiten the sugar solution, and give you a thick, white, sticky mixture that will be the base of the nougat.
