Almond Nougat
1 1/2 cup Light corn syrup
2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 cup Water
2 egg whites
1/2 tsp almond extract
Red or green food coloring
1/4 cup Soft butter or margarine
1 c toasted chopped almonds
1/4 cup chopped candied cherries
Mix first 4 ingredients in heavy saucepan. Cook, stirring,
until sugar is dissolved. Cook, without stirring, until a
small amount of the mixture dropped in cold water forms a hard
ball(205-F).
Beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry, in large bowl of
electric mixer. Gradually beat in about one fourth (not more)
of the syrup, and continue beating until mixture holds its
shape. Cook remaining syrup until a small amount of mixture
separates into hard and brittle threads when dropped in cold
water(300-F).
Gradually beat into first mixture, and continue beating until
the mixture begins to hold its shape. Add flavoring and food
coloring to tint a delicate shade. Beat in the butter,
continue beating until very thick and satiny. Stir in nuts and
cherries. Press into a buttered 8x8x2 inch pan,
smoothing top. Let stand until firm. Turn
out of pan, and cut in 1 1/2" by 1" pieces. Wrap each piece
individually in waxed paper.
For best flavor, store several days in a cool place before
serving.
