GREAT-GRANDMA CATHY'S DATE LOAF CANDY



Great-Grandma Cathy's Date Loaf Candy image

Handed down from my great-grandmother, and one of my father's all-time favorite holiday treats. Store in the refrigerator (rolled in the cloth), and it will keep for weeks. Otherwise, it becomes hard and sugary.

Categories     Desserts     Candy Recipes     Nut Candy Recipes

Time 8h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups white sugar
1 cup milk
¼ cup butter
1 cup chopped dates
1 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Stir sugar, milk, and butter together in a saucepan; bring to a boil without stirring once the boiling begins. Heat until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball or until the mixture reaches 250 degrees F (120 degrees C), about 20 minutes. Immediately remove saucepan from heat and stir dates, pecans, and vanilla into the milk mixture.
  • Thoroughly wet a piece of cheesecloth and lay out onto a flat work surface. Pour the candy mixture into the middle of the cloth and roll the cloth around it to shape into a log.
  • Refrigerate until hard, 8 hours to overnight. Remove log from cloth and slice.

DATE NUT CANDY



Date Nut Candy image

Even though my two grown sons aren't big "sweets eaters", they think these candies are exceptional. The big peanut butter flavor is a hit combined with holiday staples like walnuts and dates.

STRAWBERRY COOKIES (NO-BAKE DATE NUT COOKIE)



Strawberry Cookies (No-Bake Date Nut Cookie) image

I've been making these every Christmas since the 1970s when Winnie Batting, a long-time family friend and my father's babysitter, gave me her recipe.

Provided by CaddyCake

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield 35-40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup butter
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup coconut
8 ounces chopped dates or 1 1/2 cups dates
1 dash salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
red sugar
green icing

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, melt butter.
  • Add slightly beaten egg, sugar, coconut, dates and salt.
  • Cook, stirring constantly, until thick.
  • Remove from heat and add vanilla.
  • Add cereal and nuts.
  • Cool slightly.
  • Butter hands and roll a heaping teaspoon into a ball and then add a point to make it into the shape of a strawberry.
  • Immediately roll in red sugar and place on waxed paper (kids can help with this step since the faster you roll them in sugar, the better).
  • When all the cookies are made, add green icing stems (I use decorator tip #349).
  • When stems are firm to the touch, place in candy papers and store in an airtight container.
