Almonds, the basis of marzipan, entered Scotland through the port of Dundee. It's hardly surprising therefore, that marzipan became an important ingredient in Dundee cookery and these confections of dates-covered marzipan are a traditional Dundee confection.
Ingredients:
240g stoned dates
250g
marzipan
120g caster sugar
Method:
Knead the marzipan until warm and soft. Tear off a small piece and shape into a roll slightly shorter than the length of one of the dates. Open the date carefully with a sharp knife and insert the marzipan oval before closing the date over it.
Roll the date in the caster sugar and set aside. Repeat the process until all the dates and all the marzipan have been used up. Store in an air-tight container until needed.
