DATE NUT LOG
Another one of Mom's recipes. This is similar to some fruit cake recipes that I have seen on JAP but uses only the marshmallows, dates, and nuts -- and is smaller in size so it is not overpowering. You can add other things if you like -- such as raisins, or candied fruit. You may need to add a little more graham crackers and...

Steps:
- 1. Mix dates, marshmallows, nuts and cream.
- 2. Add 2 cups graham cracker crumbs. Work well to solid form, (like meat loaf). Add more crumbs if too sticky
- 3. Separate into to 2 portions shaped like liverworst (longish tube or log), place on waxed paper (or plastic wrap -- not aluminum foil) onto which more graham crackers have been sprinkled.
- 4. Roll to cover in crumbs and then wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours. When they have "set up" they can then be removed and sliced for serving.
- 5. Will store, as rolls, in fridge for quite a while so they can be made ahead, then removed when needed. Slice just before serving.
- 6. NOTE 1: It has occurred to me that rather than chopping all these tiny things before hand -- the dryish ingredients could be placed in a food processor which would chop and mangle things very small. Perhaps the cream would assist the chopping or maybe should be added after they are chopped up? Then add the graham cracker crumbs, perhaps by hand, to form and shape.
- 7. NOTE 2: These are actually quite versatile little things. You can add other things, like cherries, or peanuts. If you have the patience you could even cut up caramels for inclusion, too. You could also add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves if you like.
- 8. And you can roll the logs in coconut, or crushed nuts, instead of more graham crackers, too. After you slice them, they could also be dipped in melted chocolate, so they are all ready to serve with no rush at serving time.
- 9. This is an opportunity to be creative and make something really special for the people in your life. Enjoy!

- 2. Step 2 of ingredients Mix ingredients of step two, reserving egg whites for step three. Once mixed, add the yeast mixture to they mixture. This makes your dough.
- 3. Step 3 of ingredients(the filling)- Grind walnuts and dates together in a grinder or food processor. If you alternate adding ingredients it will help prevent clumping. I do this step first and set aside.
- 4. Mix sugar, vanilla and egg whites. Beat until whipped and peaks. Now fold this into date nut mix. Note: this step can be done in advance.
- 5. Then take dough you made and divide into four sections. This makes it more manageable and ensures quantities.
- 6. Taking a section of your dough, aprx a Tablespoon size of dough and make balls. Smaller then a golf ball. Will need powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Roll out dough balls. Flip to get powdered sugar on each side.
- 7. Divide your date nut mix as you did your dough. Take aprx 1 1/2 teaspoon of nut mix and place in center of dough(rolled out crust).
- 8. Folding dough- Fold over bottom side. Then fold in ends (left and right side). Now fold over top. Once dough is sealed, press from center out to move filling to ends.
- 9. Pinch and form into half moons. Place seem side down on parchment lined cookie sheets.
- 10. Bake 8-10 minutes on 375. Just as it begins to golden on the bottom. Any longer they can become dry.
HOLIDAY PECAN LOGS
Meet the Cook: For 50 years, I've turned to this beloved recipe to make candy to give away at Christmas. Of the many types I've tried, these pecan logs continue to be the most popular. I'm a registered nurse who managed to juggle my profession with raising our five children. Besides cooking and baking, my interests include sewing and putting together family photo albums. -Maxine Ruhl, Fort Scott, Kansas

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.

COCONUT DATE ROLLS
These are a great treat if you need something sweet without the guilt. Only three ingredients! It doesn't get any easier! We love these. They are great as gifts during the holidays. They taste best cold right out of the fridge. Do remember to keep them refrigerated. They can be frozen as well. I usually use the sweetened coconut as that is all I can find locally.

Steps:
- Chop coconut on large mat or cutting board and set aside.
- Place almonds into food processor. Add the dates on top. Whir in the food processor until these form a paste. You will still see some crumbs or large pieces of almond - this is OK.
- Once paste is mixed it will start to form a ball. Remove from food processor and roll into 2" logs or balls.
- Roll and press thru chopped coconut. While rolling your hands may become sticky due to the sugar in the dates - just rinse your hands with cold water and you will be able to handle the mixture easily again.
- Serve chilled. Store in fridge up to 2 weeks.
- Prep time is chopping coconut and processing paste. Cooking time is rolling.
JONI'S DATE LOGS - CHRISTMAS
This recipe is from my sister. Our family requests them every holiday season, and it wouldn't be Christmas without them! They are a great addition to your cookie trays and cookie tins to give as gifts to the neighbors, co-workers, friends and family. I hope you will try them, as they truly are fantastic! Word of warning::: These go fast, so make plenty!!! To avoid burning my hands from the hot mixture, I pick up the mixture with a piece of saran wrap, then squeeze it together with my hands and form the log, then roll the log in the coconut. Works great!
