Mock Chocolate Carob Pineapple Thisbies

 

3/4 cup black mission figs, soaked 2 hours in 1/2 cup water

1/2 cup dates, pitted, soaked 2 hours in 1/4 cup water

5 medium dried pineapple rings soaked 30 minutes in hot water

1 1/2 tablespoons carob powder or use cocoa powder

1 cup coarsely ground walnuts

1/2 cup walnut pieces

1/2 cup raisins

1/2 cup grated coconut

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon cardamom  

 

Drain soaked fruit, reserving the soaking water. Puree the figs and dates with

the carob powder in a food processor or blender at medium speed, adding a little

soaking water if necessary.

Cut pineapple into small pieces, using scissors with wet blades to prevent from

sticking. In a large bowl, mix the pureed figs and dates with the pineapple,

ground walnuts, walnut pieces and raisins.

In a small bowl, mix coconut, cardamom and cinnamon. Form dough into small

balls; roll in coconut mixture and flatten into cookie shapes. Refrigerate until

ready to serve. Will keep refrigerated up to a month.

Yields 36 servings.
