While working as a secretary in a library, I got a request from someone looking for a sugar plum recipe. I searched high and low but eventually stumbled upon this version in a local publication.Virginia Barber, Waynesville, Georgia Ingredients:
2 eggs |
1-1/4 cups sugar, divided |
1 cup chopped almonds |
1 cup flaked coconut |
1 cup chopped dates |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon almond extract |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat eggs for 1 minute. Gradually add 1 cup sugar; beat 1 minute longer or until thickened. Stir in the almonds, coconut, dates and extracts. Transfer to an ungreased 11-in x 7-in. baking dish.
2. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until browned and a thermometer reads 160°. Remove from the oven; stir. Let stand for 6-8 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Roll into 1-in. balls; roll in remaining sugar. Cool completely on waxed paper. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 3 dozen.
