Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup boiling water
  • 2 cups dates, pitted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar


Directions

  1. In a small bowl, pour boiling water over dates, and set aside to cool. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 10x10 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening and white sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the dates, including any water; mix well. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking soda; stir into the date mixture. Then stir in the nuts.
