Ingredients

Large prunes, or dates pitted

Bourbon, or use sherry, Madeira or Port

Marshmallows, halved

Jumbo pecan havles or large almonds

Granulated sugar

Directions

No amounts given, just make as many as you feel.

Mom would steam the prunes to soften them. The boiling water had a cinnamon stick, 3 cloves and a lemon peel. She would use one of those fold up steamer contraptions and the prunes didn't touch the water, they just soaked up the steam.

Soak the steamed prunes in bourbon or liquor of choice for at least one hour. (She had a lemon peel in this booze too)

Fill each prune with one half of a marshmallow and a pecan half.

Kind of seal the edges back together and roll the whole thing in a lot of granulated sugar. Leave on wax papper until dry enough to handle. Wrap up separately in wax paper. Store in tins.

(Another holiday food gift idea)

As we kidded each other as children, we are just regular folk round here. I'm glad you'll try it. It is a grown-up treat and it is a nice little nibble after a big dinner.
