    date candies with orange

    date candies with orange

    I found this recipe a few years ago in an international cookbook. Something different, something I had to try, and still like to try 🙂

    Ingredients for 4 people:

    • 150 grams of dried and pitted dates
    • 30 grams of raisins, soaked overnight in fresh orange juice
    • 50 grams of marzipan
    • 30 grams of chopped walnuts
    • 30 g chopped pistachios
    • A pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves
    • 8 sheets phyllo dough (very thin) (or puff pastry, which is a bit easier to handle)
    • Egg white
    • A little oil for frying
    • 2 oranges

    Directions:

    • Submerge the raisins for one night in fresh orange juice.
    • Remove them from the orange juice, and press the juice out of them. (Drink the juice, it is extremely tasty now).
    • Chop the dates, walnuts, pistachios and raisins fine with the kitchen robot.
    • Add the cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
    • Mix them with the marzipan and create a paste of the mixture.
    • Now it is time to taste the mixture 🙂
    • Roll the mixture into a piece of phyllo dough (or puff pastry).  Use some egg white to fix the candies.
    • Bake the candies shortly in a pan to make them brown on all sides.
    • Enjoy and surprise your guests 🙂
