Title: Susanna Gregory's Leche Lombarde w/Dates
Categories: Desserts, Fruits, Herbs
Yield: 12 Servings
14 oz Chopped, pitted dates
200 ml White wine
1 1/2 oz Sugar or honey
1/4 ts Ground ginger *
1/4 ts Cinnamon *
pn Nutmeg *
3 oz Soft breadcrumbs; not
- wholemeal, but white or
- brown will do
* You can alter the quantities of spices, adding more
ginger if you prefer. The medieval recipes are very
vague about quantities, and it really boils down to
personal taste.
Put the chopped dates in a pan with the wine and sugar,
and heat gently until the dates are soft. Beat them into
an almost-smooth puree (you can do this in a food
processor, if you want).
Add the spices and enough breadcrumbs to make the mixture
about as thick as marzipan.
Form into an oblong roll. You may want to put it in the
fridge to chill at this point, if cutting proves
difficult.
Cut into slices - not too big, because they are quite
sweet. You can sprinkle the finished result with a little
sugar mixed with the spices, if you like, or you can roll
them in icing sugar if they are too sticky.
