      Title: Susanna Gregory's Leche Lombarde w/Dates
 Categories: Desserts, Fruits, Herbs
      Yield: 12 Servings
 
     14 oz Chopped, pitted dates
    200 ml White wine
  1 1/2 oz Sugar or honey
    1/4 ts Ground ginger *
    1/4 ts Cinnamon *
        pn Nutmeg *
      3 oz Soft breadcrumbs; not
           - wholemeal, but white or
           - brown will do
 
  *  You can alter the quantities of spices, adding more
  ginger if you prefer. The medieval recipes are very
  vague about quantities, and it really boils down to
  personal taste.
  
  Put the chopped dates in a pan with the wine and sugar,
  and heat gently until the dates are soft. Beat them into
  an almost-smooth puree (you can do this in a food
  processor, if you want).
  
  Add the spices and enough breadcrumbs to make the mixture
  about as thick as marzipan.
  
  Form into an oblong roll. You may want to put it in the
  fridge to chill at this point, if cutting proves
  difficult.
  
  Cut into slices - not too big, because they are quite
  sweet. You can sprinkle the finished result with a little
  sugar mixed with the spices, if you like, or you can roll
  them in icing sugar if they are too sticky.
