ingredients

200g blanched almonds
100g mixed red and green glace cherries
125g glace ginger
180g white chocolate, roughly chopped
3/4 cup plain flour
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2/3 cup honey
1/3 cup caster sugar

instructions

step 1

In a medium sized bowl mix together, almonds, cherries, ginger, ½ white chocolate, flour and cinnamon.

step 2

Place remaining chocolate, honey and caster sugar into a small saucepan and cook over a low heat stirring continually until sugar dissolves - approximately 10 minutes. Increase heat to medium high and bring the mixture to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and continue boiling for approximately 3 minutes (reduce heat to low if necessary and stir occasionally).

step 3

Pour the honey mixture into the almond mixture and mix well (the mixture starts to cool and stiffens so work quickly).

step 4

Spoon the mixture into a well greased and baking paper lined 18 cm springform tin. Bake in a preheated oven at 140°C for 30-35 minutes. Allow to cool in tin.

step 5

When cool remove from tin, dust with icing sugar and cut into small wedges to serve.

recipe tip

To avoid burning the honey mixture be sure to watch it during the boiling process, stirring occasionally and reducing the heat if it is turning to dark.
