Tameletjies
400g White granulated sugar
250ml Water
150g Pine nuts
A generous pinch of fresh naartjie zest (Optional)
250ml Water
150g Pine nuts
A generous pinch of fresh naartjie zest (Optional)
Method
Place a frying pan over a low heat and lightly toast the pine nuts, stirring with a wooden spoon to toast evenly.Once fragrant and golden, remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
Before starting the praline, line a baking tray with grease-proof paper and set aside.
Add the sugar and water
to a large saucepan over a low-medium to heat. Stir constantly until
the sugar has dissolved. Once dissolved, bring to the boil for ±10
minutes until the mixture turns pale amber in colour. Add in the pine
nuts and stir to combine. At this stage you have the option to boil the
mixture for a little bit longer until you have the desired colour you
are after.
Remove from the heat
and using a spoon, transfer the mixture to the baking tray as quickly as
possible making sure to spread it out evenly by tilting the pan to help
it spread before it sets. Once the praline has evened out, allow it to
cool before breaking it into shards with the back of a knife.
Serve with vanilla ice-cream, as a garnish to a citrus flavoured cake or simply on it’s own as it was enjoyed back in the day!Helena Kruger
