As
has become our custom on the RCI Tip of the Week blog, we’ll make the posts
quick and brief this month for you since we know it’s a very busy time of year
for candy makers.
For
this first quick tip, we are encouraging you to think outside of the box when
it comes to nuts in your confections, specifically nougat. For example,
consider using pistachios in your holiday nougat for a fun and different color
and flavor enhancement. Chef En-Ming Hsu provided this idea during her nougat
demonstration at our recent Fall Regional Conference,
and many attendees commented on how great the pistachios tasted as well as how beautiful
they were.
If
you have other fun uses for pistachios in confections, leave us a comment
below!
