Panforte Recipe
- Recipe Submitted by maryjosh on 04/23/2018
Ingredients List
- 400 g black candied melon (or candied cedro)
- 50 g candied orange peel
- 350 g white sugar
- 350 g blanched, peeled whole almonds
- 150 g flour
- 10 g mixed spices (made up of 6 g coriander seeds, 3 g mace, pinch cloves, pinch nutmeg)
- 1 tsp black peppercorns
- 5 g cinnamon
- icing sugar
Directions
Chop the candied fruit into small pieces and set aside. Grind the mixed spice together (I use a coffee bean grinder that I don’t use for coffee or you can try a mortar and pestle, the old fashioned way) and set aside.
Place the sugar in about 100 ml of water in a saucepan over low heat. Let it dissolve and thicken into a syrup without colouring (it should reach 120 C if you have a sugar thermometer).
Take the syrup off the heat and combine with the flour, the candied fruit, the whole almonds and spices (minus the cinnamon).
Pour into a greased, floured round, flat cake tin (the panforte should be about 2cm tall, a tin about 26cm or 10 inches in diameter should do the trick), sprinkle the cinnamon over the top and cook in a medium oven (about 160 C) for 30 minutes or until firm. Remove the panforte from its cake tin, allow to cool and cover generously with icing sugar.
It keeps very well, best if it is covered or in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
