PREPARATION:
- Put the almonds in a small pot and pour hot water over them. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Take the pot off the stove and use a strainer spoon to separate the almonds.
- Put them in a little bowl, then remove the almond shells and place them on a plate.
- Put almonds without their skin in a pan and cook for 5-8 minutes on low to medium heat, stirring from time to time. Be cautious not to overcook them.
- Take the pan off the stove and put the toasted almonds in a little bowl. Put aside.
- Put walnuts in a pan and cook for 5 minutes on low-medium heat, stirring now and then. Be sure not to cook them too much.
- Take the pan off the stove, put the toasted walnuts and almonds together in a bowl, and allow them to cool. Put aside.
- In a small pot, warm up the sugar and honey over medium heat, stirring all the time until the sugar melts completely and the mixture starts to bubble.
- Apply oil to the mold using a spray and brush, then sprinkle icing sugar on top. Put aside.
- In a large bowl, separate the egg white from the yolk. Use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until they are stiff.
- Take the syrup off the heat when the mix of honey and sugar reaches a temperature between 120°C – 130°C (248°F – 266°F) on a candy thermometer, or test it by dropping a spoonful into a bowl of cold water. Try to shape the syrup into a solid ball.
- Allow the syrup to cool for about 3 minutes.
- Slowly pour the egg white into the syrup while stirring with a spatula, then switch to a whisk until the egg white is completely mixed in.
- Heat the egg white and syrup mixture on low heat. Keep stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes shiny, which should take around 8-10 minutes.
- Take the mixture off the heat, then mix in the almonds, walnuts, and dried cranberries until they are evenly spread throughout.
- Put the mix into the container and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Let the nougat cool down and leave it at room temperature for a few hours until it hardens.
- After it has hardened, remove it from the container and put it on a cutting surface.
Slice the nougat into rectangular pieces.
