Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Grease a baking dish measuring 18x28 cm with butter and line it with parchment paper. Mix sugar, syrup, honey, 3 tablespoons of water, and 0.25 teaspoons of salt. Place over low heat and stir until fully dissolved. Bring to a boil and cook for 8 minutes until the mixture hardens when dropped into cold water, or when the syrup reaches 250°F.
Step 2
Using a mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually pour in a quarter of the syrup and continue beating for 5 minutes. Heat the remaining syrup for 2 minutes until it reaches 315°F, then slowly add it to the egg whites while continuously beating.
Step 3
Add the vanilla and butter and beat for another 5 minutes, then fold in the almonds and cherries using a wooden spoon. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet and smooth it out. Cool for 2 hours until set. Turn out onto a board and cut into small squares. Wrap each piece in cellophane and store in the refrigerator.
