Ingredients

2	ounces	butter
2	ounces	caster sugar
2	ounces	glace cherries	finely chopped
3	ounces	hazelnuts	finely chopped
1	ounce	mixed peel	finely chopped
2	teaspoons	lemon juice
4	ounces	chocolate	(half plain & half white)

Directions

Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the sugar and bring to the boil, stirring all the time.

Remove from the heat and stir in the cherries, hazelnuts, peel and lemon juice.

Allow to cool slightly while you line two baking sheets with nonstick paper.

Set the oven to 350 F.

Put little heaps of the mixture, about the size of a hazelnut, on the sheets, leaving room for them to spread.

Bake for 5-6 minutes, until they are a light golden brown.

Push the edges in with a knife to neaten, then leave them to cool on the paper.

Melt the chocolate in two separate bowls set over saucepans of simmering water, or in a microwave for 3-4 minutes, then spread over the smooth side of the florentines.

Just before the chocolate sets, make wavy lines with a fork. Leave to cool completely.
