Ingredients

  • Rice paper for lining and wrapping
  • 200g blanched almonds, toasted
  • 200g skinned hazelnuts, toasted
  • 100g pecans
  • 100g pistachios, shelled
  • 200g dried cranberries
  • 175g plain flour
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
  • 200g icing sugar
  • 200g clear honey

Method: How to make pistachio slices

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C/fan140°C/gas 3. Line the base of 15cm square tin with rice paper. In a large bowl, combine all the nuts and the cranberries. Add the flour and spices and mix well. Put the sugar and honey in a large saucepan over a low heat and dissolve slowly. Continue cooking until it turns a light caramel colour. Pour over the nut and flour mixture and mix very well. (Don't worry if the mixture is very thick; be patient – it will come together.)

2. Spoon the mixture into the tin and press down well to make sure it is level, then bake for 25-30 minutes. Leave to cool slightly, then turn out on a wire rack and leave until cold. Cut into slices.

3. To assemble your gift: arrange the panforte slices in a box layered with sheets of rice paper. It will keep for up to two weeks.
