INSTRUCTIONS
Soak dates/prunes in vodka for at least 30 minutes (the longer you leave
them the more alcohol will be absorbed), then place with any remaining
vodka in a pan, bring to the boil then drain and mix with orange and lemon
zest, juices, chopped nuts and 50g of the caster sugar.
In a large bowl beat the potatoes with 225g of the flour together with the
lard, egg yolk and salt, working the mixture into a dough. Place some flour
on a work surface and knead, adding a little flour if necessary to obtain a
smooth, glossy dough.
Roll out the mixture into 5cm squares. Place a teaspoon of the apple and
the prune puree in the middle.
Pull the corners up to enclose the filling and shape gently into a ball.
Place dumplings in boiling salted water and poach for about 25 minutes
until they float to the top.
Drain thoroughly. Mix together the cinnamon, breadcrumbs and sugar, then
roll the warm dumplings in this mixture.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

A Message from our Provider:
“We need to discover all over again that worship is natural to the Christian, as it was to the godly Israelites who wrote the psalms, and that the habit of celebrating the greatness and graciousness of God yields an endless flow of thankfulness, joy, and zeal. #J.I. Packer”
