Dates Are In Season
« on: December 02, 2009, 19:32 »
At this time of year it is possible to buy 200g trays of dates very cheaply.  My local market is selling three for £1 but I should imagine they are even cheaper in ethnic food stores.  Three of these trays will make approximately two batches of lovely Apple & Date Chutney, although you have to remember to stone them first.  However, removing the stones from dates is very easy.

Sam doesn't need dates.  His students just throw themselves at his feet!  I've witnessed the spectacle for myself!   8-)
