Stuffed Dates

These are not necessarily for mere sweetmeats as there is in them a great amount of condensed nourishment, though they make a most "dainty dish to set before a king."

Select the largest dates and pinch out the stones.

Fill space with nuts or a plain cream-candy filling made by working in with the whipped white of an egg as much powdered or confectioners' sugar as it will stand. This should be flavoured with lemon juice or some other decided flavour. (Or, see Introductory Recipes.)
