HOMEMADE MARZIPAN STUFFED DATES

MARZIPAN

INGREDIENTS

    3.5 oz./100 gr. Blanched, Ground Almonds
    3.5 oz./100 gr. Powdered Sugar
    Few drops of Rose Water or Almond Extract

For larger quantities increase almond/sugar by ratio of 1:1

DATES STUFFED WITH HOMEMADE MARZIPAN

1. Slice (fresh or dried) dates lengthwise and remove the pits.

2. Fill each date with a ball of Marzipan and press between both sides of the date.

Serving Suggestions:
* Use dried apricot, which lends a bit of sourness to the Marzipan.
* You can also stuff fresh fruit, such as strawberries. However, these must be served immediately, as the sugar draws out the fruit juices.
* Dip the Marzipan balls in hot chocolate and let cool.
 

CHOCOLATE SAUCE:

INGREDIENTS
• 100 gr. Bittersweet Chocolate, break up the cubes, or chop.
• ¼ cup Sugar
• a bit of Milk
• Margarine or Butter

DIRECTIONS
1. Place chocolate, sugar and milk in a double boiler, or cook on a very low flame, stirring as the mixture melts.

2. Remove from stove, add margarine or butter and stir until it melts.

* The honey mentioned in the Seven Species traditionally refers to date honey, we have chosen to include a simple recipe using fresh or dried dates.
