Recipe Introduction
From “The Good Goodies: Recipes for Natural Snacks ‘n’ Sweets by Stan and Floss Dworkin (1975)
List of Ingredients
1 cup seedless dried currents
1/2 cup dessicated coconut shreds
2 to 3 dozen dates
Recipe
Grind the currants and add the coconut and mix well until almost uniform.
Pit the dates and cut them halfway through down the length.
Pick up a bit of the coconut currant mixture (a rough ball about ½ inch across) and stuff it into the pitted date. Press the date partly closed again around the mixture.
Yield: 24 to 36
Note: You can stuff the dates thick or thin as you prefer, hence the variable yield.
