Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup orange blossom honey
1 cup finely ground almonds
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon lemon zest
1 egg whites, beaten stiff

This turron jijona was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The texture was nice and chewy, and I liked the flavor of the almonds. I think I would try making it with less honey next time.
