Mixed Dry Fruits n Nuts Halwa

For the Last day of this week, i m posting a super tempting, Delicious and totally sinful with load of Calories, Mixed Dry Fruits and Nuts Halwa. I have made it by the traditional Stove-top Method, though this takes lots of time, energy and quite a bit of stirring (nice work-out for the Bingo Wings!!!!!), When you taste a spoonful of this Warm Delicacy, its Worth the effect!!!!!

Ingredients

½ Cup Apricots

¼ Cup Badam/Almonds

½ Cup Walnuts

¼ Cup Cashew-nuts

¼ Cup Hazelnuts

¼ Cup Pistachios

5-6 Cardamom Pods

1 and ¼ Cup Sugar + ½ Cup Water

¼ Cup Ghee

a pinch of Orange Color (Optional)

Method

Soak all the Dried fruits n Nuts together in Water for 4-5 hours.
Take the Soaked nuts and cardamom pods in a Mixer and Grind to a Smooth Paste.
In a Deep Non-Stick Pan, Boil Sugar with Water. When the Sugar syrup reaches single-thread consistency, add the ground nuts paste to it and Mix well. Add the Food color also and Stir well.
Keep the Flame Medium and Cook. Keep Stirring every now and then. The Nut-Sugar Mixture, will start reducing in volume. When it reduces half its quantity, add ghee little by little and Stir.
The Halwa will start coming together, leaving the sides of the pan. The cooking time is 1 hour. So, you need lots of patience to get this consistency.
When the halwa comes as one big mass, with no moisture at all, it is done. Transfer the Contents to a greased plate and spread evenly. Let it cool for 30 minutes. Make Slices using a serrated knife and Serve Warm.

Store the rest in refrigerator, coz the set halwa is even more easy to make slices. Just before serving, reheat in a Microwave for 20 seconds and Serve, it tastes Divine when served Warm.
