Homemade Calissons: the easy recipe

Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F). In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, mix the sugar with the almond flour and the jams. If the jams have pieces, blend them beforehand. Cook over low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until the mixture dries out and pulls away from the sides of the saucepan.

Roll out the dough to a thickness of 5 mm by placing it between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent it from sticking. Wait a little for the dough to cool down. Then, cut the shapes into diamonds and place them on parchment paper on a baking tray.

Whisk the egg white with the sugar until you obtain a smooth mixture. Coat each piece with this preparation using a small spoon or a brush.

To finish, bake and let dry for 5 minutes in the oven. Let cool and store in a metal box.
