Preparation

  1. Line a frame of 18 x 18 cm with baking paper and an edible wafer paper at the bottom. Roast almonds and pistachios for 10 minutes at 150°C. Reserve 24 pistachios for the top and keep the other dried fruits warm.
  2. In a saucepan cook sugar and water at 145 °C. In a second, heat the honey to 130°C. Use a thermometer and monitor both pans.
  3. When the honey approaches its temperature, turn the whites to the beater. Pour the honey into the net against the wall, then the sugar syrup at temperature, while whisking at medium speed.
  4. Whisk for another 5 minutes until thickened, then incorporate the unreserved dried fruits and 20 g of the candied orange dice. Keep the remaining 20 g for the top. Tapping in the frame. Temporarily cover with baking paper and press flat; do not add the second sheet at this point. Let it take 12 hours.
  5. Remove the top paper and cut 24 rectangles of 3 x 4.5 cm with a slightly oiled blade. Cut the second sheet into 24 small lids of 3.5 x 5 cm; provide a sheet of 21 x 30 cm minimum.
  6. Place a pistachio on each nougat and distribute the 20 g of small orange cubes reserved. Cover freely with an azyme rectangle; the fruits form a slight relief under the leaf. Remove a sheet at the service to reveal colors.
