Ingredients
- 1/4 lb Fresh spinach leaves, * or possibly 2 drops of green coloring
- 3 c. Whole blanched almonds
- 3 c. Granulated sugar, plus more for covering the dates
- 2 tsp Cognac or possibly Brandy
- 30 lrg Pitted dates
Directions
- Note: The spinach in the recipe produces a green-colored cooking water which colors the almond paste.
- Put the spinach in a saucepan with1/2 c. of water and steam it for 10 min. Place the spinach in a clean dish cloth and wring out 1 Tbsp. of green cooking water. If you used spinach, reserve it for another purpose.
- Chop the almonds in a food processor to a very fine grain.
- Put the almonds, sugar, Cognac or possibly Brandy, and green spinach water (or possibly green food-coloring water) in a large, nonstick frying pan and cook over a low heat about 10 min, stirring constantly.
- Remove from the heat and turn onto marble which has been sprinkled with water.
- Make an incision along the side of each date from the stem to the opposite end. Fill each with about 1 rounded teaspoonful of the almond paste. After the dates are filled, roll them in sufficient granulated sugar to completely cover the date and the stuffing.
