The main compound I know with these two is named "nougat" (I don't
know the english term. We had had a recipe in the last "La Belgique
Apicole" issue : entitled: - Nougat de Carthage -
ingredients : 1 kg honey, 4 eggs, 1 kg of almonds
I'm not able to translate this in correct english (too difficult terms
for me) See the process in french, sorry, translating isn't warranty !
Les amandes doivent e^tre bien se`ches au pre'alable, soit a`
l'e'tuve, soit au four doux, afin qu'elles ne renferment plus
d'humidite'. => First, well dry the almonds, either in a drying-room,
either in an oven (mild!). They must be very dry.
Cuire le miel au petit casse', en ayant soin de bien brasser pour
qu'il ne s'attache pas. => (+-) cook the honey at the "petit-casse'"
state. Stir continuously to avoid the attachment?.
Fouetter les blancs d'oeufs en neige et les me'langer au miel. =>
Beat? the white of the eggs in snow ?? and put them in the honey with
stirring.
Apre`s cette addition, mode'rer le feu et remuer constamment avec une
cuiller en bois pour e'viter l'e'bullition. = Diminish the heating
while stirring with a wood spoon to avoid boilling ?
Laisser sur le feu jusqu'a` ce que le miel, que les blancs d'oeufs
auront mouille', ait repris la cuisson au casse'. = Let on the fire?
till the honey return to the "petit-casse'" state.
Cette cuisson obtenue, me^ler a` cette pa^te les amandes douces
e'monde'es et bien se'che'es d'avance. => Put the well dry almonds
while stiring.
Dresser sur des oublies ou pains d'hostie, de l'e'paisseur ordinaire
(+-2 cm) et couper le nougat en bandes avant qu'il ne soit tout a`
fait froid. = Put on some host bread? at the common thickness (+-2 cm)
and cut in bands before total chill?
NB. On reconnait que le miel est cuit au casse' quand, trempant la
pointe d'un couteau dans le sirop et le laissant refroidir, le miel se
casse si on le frappe sur l'angle de la table. => to know when the
honey is at the "petit-casse'" state : put the point of a knife in the
syrup, let them to chill and knock? the table border? : it's ok if the
honey breaks.

I don't know but I'm also interested.
Hope this will interest some greedy? guys (and some other of course)!
