Salted Pecans

Salted Pecans

Ingredients:
1 lb. figs
1 lb. English walnut meat
1 lb. dates

Directions:
Confectioner’s sugar
Pick over and remove stems from figs and stones from dates. Mix fruit with walnut meat, and
force through a meat−chopper. Work, using the hands, on a board dredged with
confectioners’
sugar, until well blended. Roll to one−fourth inch thickness, using confectioners’ sugar for
dredging board and pin. Shape with a small round cutter, first dipped in sugar, or cut with a
sharp knife in three−fourth inch squares. Roll each piece in confectioners’ sugar, and shake to
remove superfluous sugar. Pack in layers in a tin box, putting paper between each layer.
These
confections may be used at dinner in place of bonbons or ginger chips. A combination of nut
meat (walnut, almond, and filbert) may be used in equal proportions.
