STUFFED DATES

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, add the ground almonds, powdered sugar, and orange flower water. Add 1 Tbsp water and work into a paste. The dough should be slightly moist; add a few more drops of water (or orange flower water) if needed.
• If using food coloring, divide the paste into even parts, add 5 or 6 drops of a single color to each, and work in.
• Wipe the dates with a damp cloth. Cut a lengthwise incision across the top of each date and carefully remove the pit. Take 1 tsp or so of the almond paste, roll it between your palms into a spherical shape, and tuck inside the date. It should bulge out of the opening. Repeat with the remaining paste and dates. Garnish each date with a walnut pressed slightly edgewise into the almond paste before serving.

MOROCCAN STUFFED DATES

Steps:

• Blanch and peel the almonds. Bring some water to a boil in a small pot. Add the almonds and leave to boil for one or two minutes. Remove the almonds from the heat and drain. While the almonds are still warm, remove the skin by pinching individual almonds between your forefinger and thumb. Leave the skinned almonds to cool.
• Make the almond paste. Process the almonds, sugar and cinnamon in a food processor until the almonds are a powdery mixture which is moist enough to pack. Add the butter and orange flower water and continue processing until a smooth paste forms around the blade. Remove the paste from the processor.
• Stuff the dates. Roll small cylinders of almond paste the same length as your dates, but only about 1/3 the diameter. Take a date, make a vertical cut deep enough to remove the pit, but not so deep as to cut the date in half. Discard the pit, insert a cylinder of almond paste, and press the sides of the date firmly around the paste, while leaving a portion of paste exposed. Repeat with the remaining dates and almond paste.
• Garnish the dates. This is an optional step; you might try one of the following methods or be creative and come up with your own:.
• Top the exposed paste with a piece of walnut, shredded coconut, or light dusting of cinnamon.
• Roll the stuffed date in granulated sugar.
• Score the exposed almond paste with the dull side of a paring knife, then roll the date in sugar.
• Store the stuffed dates in an airtight container in the fridge. Bring them to room temperature before serving.
