Stuffed Dates with Almonds
| Best fancy dates. |
| Blanched almonds. |
| Powdered sugar. |
It was a quick job for Betsey to prepare the dates by cutting an opening and removing the long stone, but the almonds took longer. These she shelled, covered with boiling water a minute, drained them and removed the brown skins.
In each date she pressed an almond, then rolled in powdered sugar.
