Candy making can confound even the most careful home cook.

Luckily, Passover gives us an excuse to make a simple candy that is delicious and requires little fuss. And you don't need to celebrate Passover to appreciate it.Ingberlach is a traditional Jewish candy flavored with ginger and honey. It also can contain nuts and other ingredients and is reminiscent of a sticky, chewy caramel popcorn cluster.For our version, we added crumbled matzo and chopped hazelnuts, as well as a few extra spices. All you do is boil everything for 20 minutes, then pour it onto a baking sheet.Once it is cool enough to handle, break it up and roll it into balls.Spiced HazelnutIngberlachStart to finish: 45 minutesMakes 8 dozen1 and one-half cups honeyOne-half cup sugarOne-half cup orange juice1 teaspoon cinnamonOne-quarter teaspoon ground clovesOne-quarter teaspoon ground allspice2 teaspoons dry ground gingerOne-quarter teaspoon kosher salt5 sheets (5 ounces) matzo, finely crumbled1 cup chopped hazelnutsLightly oil a rimmed baking sheet.In a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, sugar, orange juice, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, ginger and salt.
