APRICOT NOUGATS.
ROLL out some trimmings of puff-paste to the thickness of the
eighth of an inch; lay this all over the surface of a baking-sheet,
spread it with a rather thick layer of apricot-jam, and then strew some
dried pistachio kernels or Jordan almonds over this, shake some finely-
sifted sugar over all, and bake them in a very moderately-heated oven.
When done, allow the pastry to cool, and then use any kind of fancy
tin-cutter to stamp them out.
