The nougat yields to the tooth, and everyone enjoyed the flavors of almonds, pistachios, and dried cherries. This can easily be adapted to feature different nuts and dried fruits, or even candied ginger or citrus peel. I especially appreciate the note about using the cooking times as guides for the sugar, as the small amounts were indeed too shallow for me to measure with a candy thermometer. The times were spot-on, and this candy came together nicely. It gave me very little trouble when cutting, and I wound up with neatly sliced strips of delicious candy.
