INGREDIENTS:
2 lbs. fresh dates
2 1/4 cups sugar
2 cups water
Several whole cloves
Few drops lemon juice
Blanched almonds
Peel the fresh dates carefully and then boil in water until tender. Drain and
let dry until they no longer feel moist to the touch. Push out the pits with a
knitting needle. Save the water in which the dates have been boiled. Put
layers of fine sugar and dates in saucepan, starting with a layer of sugar.
Let stand overnight. In the morning, remove the dates from the pan,
shaking off the sugar. Add the water in which the dates were cooked to the
sugar and boil until the syrup is thick. While syrup is boiling, stuff each
date with a blanched almond. Add the stuffed dates to the thick syrup and
boil gently for 10 minutes. Store in covered glass jars.
These dates may be served as confection after a meal, or offered at teatime. In Lebanon they could be
offered to visitors at any time.
