Panforte Recipe

• 1 cup natural almonds, with skins
• 2/3 cup blanched almonds
• 1 cup whole shelled hazelnuts
• 1/2 cup roughly chopped soft dried figs
• 1 1/4 cups chopped candied orange and lemon or citron peel
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Good grating of fresh nutmeg
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• Good grinding of white pepper
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons butter

1. Preheat your oven to 325u0b0F. Line the bottom and sides of a single 8-inch cake pan with aluminum foil.
2. Mixed together the nuts, dried fruits and candied peel in a heat-proof bowl.
3. Add the cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, white pepper and cocoa powder.
4. Put the sugar, honey and butter into a saucepan and melt together gently.
5. Take off the heat and pour into the dry ingredients in the heat-proof bowl. Stir slowly and patiently to mix everything together well.
6. Tip into the cake pan and, using wet hands or wearing vinyl disposable gloves, pat and press down on the top to get as smooth a surface as you possibly can.
