Short answer - YES - but there is more that one type - any particular type?

PS - it is a tough number to have to cook - but easier in the Thermomix as you don't have to do all the stirring.

Hi Ky - have posted a couple of recipes translated from Italian sites.  I will look at home, I know that there are a number of recipes and may find some others.  You can substitute just hazelnuts for hazelnuts, almonds, pieces of candied fruits such as cedro etc.  Depends on what your partner wants.

Good luck - the good thing is that it can stir constantly - an hour in some cases.  What couldn't an Italian mumma do in that time ???

Hi ky - found another Italian recipe - for a harder version - it cooks the egg white and honey for 3 hours at 100 deg on speed 1.

The link is http://www.universocucina.com/forum/topic2887.html (http://www.universocucina.com/forum/topic2887.html)  the relevant passage is

"Mettere miele e albume (appena rotto dalla forchetta) nel boccale, aggiungere la farfalla, impostare calore a 100^, tempo 60 minuti, velocità 1.
Dopo la I ora reimpostare 60 minuti, 100^ a vel. 1
Dopo la 2^ ora reimpostare 60 minuti 100^ vel.1
Dopo la 3^ ora prelevare una goccia di torrone, se fa il filo duro e se messa in acqua indurisce subito il torrone è pronto. "

which is:

Put honey and egg white (just broken by fork) in the cup, add the butterfly, set heat to 100 ^, 60 minutes time, speed 1st
After I reset hours 60 minutes, 100 ^ a vel. 1
After 2 ^ hours 60 minutes to reset 100 ^ vel.1
After 3 hours ^ take a drop of nougat, if it makes the thread hard and put in water immediately hardens the nougat is ready.

This gives a harder texture and what I prefer - but you'll need to work quickly to incorporate almonds and fruit.

hi
just an update on the nougat....we made the recipe where you only cook it for an hour.......unfortunetly it didnt work it ended up being like creamed honey..... so will try the second recipe that you cook for 3 hours and hopefully that will work.....let you know what happens next time we try it.
