A star rating of 4 out of 5. Enjoy these classic florentines at Christmas time. Line two baking sheets with baking parchment. Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a small saucepan over a low heat, stirring frequently.
Remove from the heat and whisk in the flour then add the cherries, flaked almonds, pistachios and orange zest. Scoop 10 flat tbsp of the mixture onto the baking sheets, leaving room for them to spread. You will need to do these in batches. Bake for 10 mins until golden. Leave to cool for 2 mins until firm enough to lift onto a wire rack. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a simmering saucepan of water or in the microwave in 30 second bursts.
Turn the florentines over on the wire rack. Spoon chocolate onto the base of each florentine and gently spread to the edges. When the chocolate is firm enough to hold its shape, use a fork to draw wavy lines across the chocolate. Leave to set and then store in an airtight container.

Careful weighing of the ingredients is the key to success. Equipment and preparation: for this recipe you will need a sugar thermometer and three baking trays. Line three baking trays with baking parchment or silicon sheets.
Measure the butter, sugar and syrup into a small pan and heat gently until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat and add the flour, chopped cranberries or cherries, candied peel and nuts to the pan. Make 18 florentines by spooning six teaspoonfuls of the mixture on to each of the prepared baking trays, leaving plenty of room for them to spread during cooking. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden-brown.
If the florentines become too hard to remove, then pop them back into the oven for a few minutes to allow them to soften. Set a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, without letting the bowl touch the water. Temper the chocolate by breaking half of the chocolate into the bowl. Meanwhile, finely chop or grate the remaining chocolate. Spread a little melted chocolate over the flat base of each florentine and leave to cool slightly before marking a zigzag in the chocolate with a fork. Leave to set, chocolate side up on a cooling rack.
