Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Here's a favorite of mine. Uses cardamom, cashews, coconut and dates! All 4 of my favorites together. I use 5 cardamom pods and these are nippy good! Hope the other measurements help Christie! Date-Cardamom-Cashew Blobs Spicy, unique flavor in a flash. 1 cup (250 mL) lightly toasted cashew pieces cardamom seeds from two to four pods or 1/8 to 1/4 tsp (0.5-1 mL) powdered 1 cup (250 mL) finely chopped dates finely grated peel of one organic orange 1/2 cup dried coconut, toasted and then powdered in blender Chop cashews fairly fine (the blender chops them too fine). Remove cardamom from pods and grind with a mortar and pestle or between two spoons. Combine cashews and cardamom in a bowl with dates and orange peel. Knead mixture with fingertips until uniform, then roll in one inch (2.5 cm) balls and coat with coconut. Makes 18 blobs. " I am just a new boy. Stranger in this town. Where are all the good times?

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Hi Donna I am planning on making these tomorrow. They call for toasted coconut. How would you do that? Would dry frying it like sesame seeds or nuts work? TIA Christie , Donnalilacflower <thelilacflower wrote: > > Here's a favorite of mine. Uses cardamom, cashews, > coconut and dates!
