Nuts

Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup water
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp rosewater
• 1/4 tsp lemon juice
• 1/4 cup pistachios, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely.
2. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to form a slurry.
3. Once the sugar has dissolved, bring the mixture to a boil. Continue cooking until it reaches the soft ball stage (234°F or 112°C). Remove from heat and carefully whisk in the cornstarch slurry.
4. Stir in the rosewater and lemon juice. Let the mixture cool slightly, then fold in the pistachios and dried apricots.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop the mixture into 16 evenly sized balls and place them on the prepared sheet.
