Christmas isn't too far. If you're wondering what sweet to gift to your near and dear ones, here's my suggestion- Nougat. Nougat, pronounced as noo-gaa, is a sweet with a soft, chewy texture. This has been in my 'to-do-list' for a very long time. I got the recipe from Candy.about.com. Timing is a very important aspect while making Nougat. The sugar syrup has to reach a particular temperature before mixing with rest of the ingredients. I had to ignore all calls that came, while I was watching my candy thermometer like a hawk :) Thankfully everything turned out just fine....
