TURON, FROM SPAIN
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.

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.

TURRON DE COCO
Last year, I decided to host friends who were staying in Miami for Nochebuena, the traditional Cuban Christmas Eve dinner. Knowing a few would be missing home, I asked everyone to bring one thing that meant the holidays to them. I might have been more specific, because I ended up with no fewer than 10 boxes of Spanish turron. Apart from the roast pork drenched in mojo and white rice and black beans, sliced turrones served on trays at the end of the night are a requirement at every Cuban holiday. Traditionally made with marcona almonds, everyone has their favorites - whether it's soft and fudgy Jijona, nougat-like Alicante, or egg-rich yema tostada. Looking for my own hostess gift, I decided try my hand at turron de coco - creamy shredded coconut cooked down with condensed milk and brightened with orange zest and a few drops of vanilla. A perfect blank slate for experimentation, it sets up quickly and can be boxed up to take. Of course, you might want to call first, but really, you can never have too many.

Steps:
- Grease an 8-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper, allowing overhang on all sides.
- In a medium-size heavy saucepan, combine condensed milk, coconut milk, butter, orange zest and shredded coconut. Stir constantly over medium heat until it begins to pull away from the pan and clumps together, about 10 minutes. Off heat, stir in the vanilla while still warm.
- Pour into the prepared pan then spread evenly with an offset spatula until smooth. Bring to room temperature then wrap and chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
- Place chocolate in a heatproof mixing bowl and set over a pot of gently simmering water. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted. Off heat, stir in the grapeseed oil.
- While still in the pan, pour half of the melted chocolate over the coconut mixture and spread in an even layer. Chill in the freezer until set, about 10 minutes. Lift out of the pan and gently turn onto a layer of parchment or wax paper. Pour remaining chocolate over coconut and spread in even layers so that it is coated on both sides. Return to freezer until set, an additional 10 minutes. Peel off of wax paper, trim on all sides, and cut into two rectangular tablets. Cut into desired shapes.
TURON
Turon (banana lumpia) are sweet and crunchy fried snacks filled with jackfruit and saba bananas and popular in the Philippines. Growing up, my grandfather made them with plantains which are more readily available in the US. The key to delicious turon is to use very ripe plantains that are mostly black and semi-soft. Turon are delicious served piping hot right out of the fryer but if you're looking to take them up a notch, top the turon with a scoop of coconut or ube ice cream, like my grandfather did.

Steps:
- Defrost the spring roll shells in the package on the countertop for 30 minutes. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and set aside.
- Trim both ends of each plantain and do not remove the skin. Cut each plantain in half across and then cut lengthwise into 3 planks. Peel the plantain pieces.
- Drain the jackfruit and reserve the syrup in a small bowl. Cut each piece of jackfruit into 1/2-inch wide strips.
- To assemble the turon, lay the wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing towards you (it should resemble a diamond). Place one slice of plantain horizontally about 2 inches from the lower corner and top with 2 strips of jackfruit. Fold the nearest corner of the wrapper over the plantain and jackfruit tautly and roll twice over. Fold in the left and right corners and continue to roll upwards until about 1 inch of wrapper remains. Dip your finger into the reserved jackfruit syrup to moisten the top corner and seal. Repeat with the remaining fruit and wrappers. Reserve the syrup.
- Fill a medium saucepan with 2 inches of oil. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Dip each turon into the jackfruit syrup, allowing any excess to drip off and carefully place into the oil. Fry, turning occasionally, in batches of 6 at a time until deep golden brown and crisp all over, about 3 minutes per side. Place the turon on the wire rack and let cool. Repeat with remaining turon and serve hot.
TURRON DE ALICANTE / ALMOND NOUGAT
Turron is a product I grew up eating during Christmas time. It's a hard candy confection made out of caramel and almonds. There are other kinds out there, soft, chewy, etc. I used to be able to buy it at the store, but sometimes it's hard to find. The oblea might be hard to find, check in the international isle at your local store. This is mainly sold in Spain. You can also try my recipe for obleas if you have the time.(Convert to US measurements if needed) Enjoy

Steps:
- Beat egg whites until they're white and fluffy.
- Boil the honey over medium-high heat until it becomes a thick caramel-consistency.
- Mix the honey and the egg whites.
- Continue to beat this mixture with a wooden spoon (wooden spoons are best for candies and sweets).
- Add the vanilla extract and cook with the double boiler method.
- note: If you don't have a double boiler available, place a medium-sized pot inside a slightly bigger and deeper pot, fill the bigger pot with water so that the smaller one is halfway submerged.
- Continue stirring until you achieve a caramel consistency.
- In a separate pot over high heat cook the sugar, corn syrup and the water until you obtain a caramel.
- Once you have the caramel add the other mixture and the almonds.
- You have 2 options for assembly:.
- Grease a working surface.
- Place the mixture and roll out with a rolling pin, shape to your liking.
- (it's usually sold in a rectangle shape).
- Let it cool.
- Or if you find the oblea cover a rectangular baking sheet with the oblea.
- Roll out the mixture and let it cool.
- break into pieces.
- When cooled the candy should be really hard.

- 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.
