Ingredients

1 pound Dates

1 pound Figs

1 pound Raisins

1 pound Walnuts

Sweet chocolate, (optional)

Preparation

1

This is not a classic nougat, since it is not based in honey or boiled sugar syrup; rather, it is more of a pemmican, like commercially available

2

"date rolls. " To keep the dried fruit from sticking to the grinder and making it bind, heat the grinder parts in boiling rater immediately before grinding.

3

Stone the dates, cut the stems off the figs, stone the raisins (or use seedless raisins), and shell the walnuts; put all the fruit and nuts through the meat chopper, roll out thin on a board sprinkled with powdered sugar, and cut into squares. These are delicious dipped in melted sweet chocolate.
