The cookie dough which contains anise seeds is rolled out or shaped into sticks then baked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The layers are stacked and held together by chancaca honey. The top is also covered with honey, then covered with candy sprinkles or dragees and fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chancaca honey or chancaca syrup is made by cooking a combination of various fruit such as banana, pineapple, figs and spices like clove and cinnamon. The hot fruit mix is strained, reheated and then chancaca &ndash; raw unrefined brown cane sugar is added and cooked until thick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A turron is a type of sticky confection made with honey and often eggs and nuts, much like what is called nougat in English. Do&ntilde;a is a respectful title that refers to a woman of rank and of a certain age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Origin &amp; Cultural Significance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Turron de Do&ntilde;a Pepa can be found year round, prepackaged. Traditionally it was prepared only during the month of October which Peruvians call Mes Morada or purple month. This is when El Se&ntilde;or de Milagros or the procession of the lord of miracles is held in the capital city of Lima<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s believed that Turron de Do&ntilde;a Pepa was first made by an Afro-Peruvian slave, Josefa Marmanillo, nicknamed <em>Dona Pepa<\/em>, who was known for her baking skills. She would become paralyzed and no longer able to bake, decided to travel to Lima to ask El Se&ntilde;or de Milagros to cure her. Her wish was granted and as a show of her gratitude, she created the Turron as an offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-mv-recipe\"><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Recipe\",\"name\":\"Turron de Do\\u00f1a Pepa Recipe\",\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Travel Food Atlas\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-04-16\",\"recipeYield\":8,\"description\":\"Turron de Do\\u00f1a Pepa is an anise flavored confection from Peru, best described as a bar made from thick cookie layers.\",\"image\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/travelfoodatlas.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/04\\\/Turron-de-Dona-Pepa-1-480x480.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/travelfoodatlas.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/04\\\/Turron-de-Dona-Pepa-1-720x540.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/travelfoodatlas.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/04\\\/Turron-de-Dona-Pepa-1-360x480.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/travelfoodatlas.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/04\\\/Turron-de-Dona-Pepa-1-720x405.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/travelfoodatlas.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/04\\\/Turron-de-Dona-Pepa-1-735x551.jpg\"],\"recipeCuisine\":\"Peruvian\",\"prepTime\":\"PT50M\",\"cookTime\":\"PT3H\",\"performTime\":\"PT3H\",\"totalTime\":\"PT3H50M\",\"recipeIngredient\":[\"Butter \\u2013 2 cups\",\"Flour \\u2013 4 \\u00bd cups\",\"Salt -
