Delightful Date Sweets

These are two varieties of sweets that you simply cannot resist

• 1 packet of the best quality black dates with seeds
• 100g walnuts
• 100g almonds
• 1 tbsp jaggery

Method

Slit the date and carefully remove the seeds without breaking the date.

Variety 1

In half the dates in place of the seed, stuff a piece of walnut so that a part of the walnut sticks out. That's it! And it tastes great.

Variety 2

This one needs a little more effort but it's nice to serve the two kinds together.

Pour boiling water over the almonds and wait 3 - 4 minutes. Peel them. Grind them along with the jaggery to make a paste. Roll the paste into little seed shaped ovals and stuff the dates with these. Serve both varieties together.

Variations

Serve the dates stuffed with blanched whole almonds or whole cashews.
