This is an easy sweet recipe that can be prepared in advance. Enjoy this rich salami with divine taste.
Ingredients:
300 g pitted prunes
500 g dry figs
250 g dates
150 g walnuts
200 g icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla sugar
Rind of one orange
Crystal sugar for coating
Preparation:
Finely chop walnuts and orange rind. Process prunes, dates and figs in food processor until finely ground. Cook the icing and vanilla sugar with a small amount of water into a very thick syrup (you should be able to pull a string between two fingers), then take away from the heat and mix with fruit mixture. Spread crystal sugar in a thin layer over alu foil. Spread the mixture in the shape of roll and roll foil over it. This should give a shape of salami. Chill in the fridge for a day. Slice into thin slices (few mm).
Serve:
Excellent with coffee.
Tip:
This can be done in advance and stored in a fridge for quite a while as all ingredients are natural dry fruits.
