For my stone fruit recipe offering I chose dates, which I had a fresh container of in the pantry. I like to get creative with foods on hand. So I went for stuffed dates.
These would have been quite good with just mascarpone cheese and walnuts to stuff them. But I wanted to layer in more depth of flavor. That’s where orange marmalade came in nicely.
Now, we’re huge fans of cardamom here. Bill and I both adore Indian sweets and chai masala tea flavored with cardamom. And if we find a whole cardamom pod in our kheer? We pop the little pod open and munch on those seeds for bursts of intense flavor.
So it was I finished these little fellas off with a sprinkle of ground cardamom. Gives it that final extra punch of spice.
We loved these, and they were also well received by some of Bill’s co-workers. Remember to rate and comment if you make them. Thanks!
