Panforte di Siena (Sweetmeat from Siena)

Not exactly the recipe we used, but not so far off. We used lots of fruit, at least three times what the recipe said: dried apricots, dates, currants, figs, raisins, and cherries; and cashews and almonds for the nuts.

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup sifted all purpose flour
2 Tbsp cocoa
1 Tbsp cinnamon
2-1/2 cup dried fruit (we used apricots, dates, currants, figs, raisins and cherries)
3/4 cup toasted, shelled almonds
1-1/4 cup toasted, shelled filberts (what is a filbert? we used cashews)
1 Tbsp grated orange rind (we had some candied orange peel left from the christmas pudding, so we used that)
confectioner's sugar

Heat oven to 275 degrees F. Butter 10" pie plate. In saucepan, combine sugar and honey; cook over low heat 15 min., stirring constantly. Sift flour, cocoa, cinnamon; stir into honey mixture. Stir in preserved fruit, citron, nuts and orange rind. Quickly turn mixture into pie plate. Bake 30 min or until firm. Cool. Dust thickly with confectioners' sugar. Cut into pie shaped wedges. Serve as dessert or candy. Serves 12

Tell you tomorrow how it turned out! I really wanted to eat some just now, but we should cut into it when all of us can have some. I resisted the temptation... Smells lovely.
 
that does sound goood scruffy. gonna share with us?:p

please don't give a description of just how mouthwatering they were. to much for me to handle and not get to try one!!!:D

of course if you want to meet up at mwsf and bring some with, then go ahead and describe away!!!
 
Lovely sticky chewy candy. Spicy and nutty and good with coffee.

The only thing I would change would be leaving out the cherries. Oh yeah - don't forget to butter the pie plate! It will never come out otherwise.

Ed - that's why I put up the recipe, so everyone can try :) And cause I don't get to go to MWSF, at least I get to gloat about something ;)
