Turkish Hazelnuts
By: Chef Kate
Jun 6, 2007
A lovely traditional Turkish sweet. If you start with hazelnuts that have been skinned, there's very little effort involved. The one hour prep time includes about forty minutes where all you do is stir the nuts at ten minute intervals.

Unusual but very good. Made it with half hazelnuts, half almonds (and didn't skin either one). We actually preferred the almonds, but only slightly. I also forgot to stir it as per the last step. That turned out fine, it just formed a flat cookie that I broke apart afterward like toffee. It was a great flavor combination of sweet, buttery, salty and nutty.

A bit of work, I thought, but well worth the raves from guests! I really loved these little tasties, but was happy enough when my friends devoured most of them ~ I think that if I make them another time it'll be as gifts or 'favors' at each place setting! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in 1-2-3 Hit Wonders]

Next time there should be a legitimate reason for preparing this recipe: Christmas party, for example. I've eaten too many of these. An unusual way to candy nuts, but turned out to be a winner. Don't let the cottage cheese-like look of the mixture scare you. It did me. Oh, and Chef Kate, I didn't skin the hazelnuts even though you specifically said I should. cg
