Ingredients

　　

Step 1

Follow the recipe for Almond Pastries in Honey Syrup (see page 127), but use the following filling.

　　

Step 2

Use a moist variety of dates such as the Tunisian Deglet Nour or the Californian varieties. You will need about 1 1/3 pounds once they have been pitted. Blend them in the food processor, adding a little water, if necessary, by the tablespoon, to achieve a soft paste.
