Instructions
Pulse the cherries, ginger, cranberries and pistachios in a food processor until chopped into small pieces. Add the almond flour and pulse again to combine.
Stir in the flaked almonds.
Put the butter, sugar and salt together in a small pan on a low heat. Cook until the temperature reaches 248°F on the sugar thermometer, stirring only minimally. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream, then pour over the fruit mixture and stir until well combined.
Form circular or rectangular florentines of a size and shape to suit your needs.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until evenly golden brown.
Tidy the shapes with a sharp knife while the mixture is still hot. Leave to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
