Recently I came across a recipe for a Christamas treat that my mom made when I was young. I made it the other day and it brought back childhood memories. Here it is:
Date Nut Log
Ingredients
30 graham crackers
16 marshmallows (about) diced
1 cup dates chopped
2 cups walnuts chopped
1 cup heavy cream
How to make Graham Cracker Log
Roll graham crackers to fine crumbs.
Combine marshmallows, dates and walnuts and mix thoroughly with 1 3/4 cups cracker crumbs.
Add 1 cup cream, not whipped, and mix all thoroughly.
Shape into loaf.
Roll loaf in remaining cracker crumbs, then wrap well in wax paper.
Place in refrigerator and chill at least 6 hours.
Better if chilled overnight, or the longer the better..
Note: 12-23-2010 Made as described. Next time use all crumbs in mixture, also, possibly a little more cream to get just a touch more moist.
Opps, I used pecans in place of walnuts.
