Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp shortening
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 (8-oz) package pitted dates
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
  • 1 1/2 cups raisins
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

  1. Cream shortening in a large mixing bowl; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  2. Grind together dates, pecans, and raisins. Stir fruit mixture, spices, and salt into creamed mixture. Dissolve soda in half-and- half; stir into fruit mixture. Stir in flour to make a stiff dough.
  3. Divide dough into thirds; shape each portion into a roll, 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap rolls in waxed paper, and chill overnight or until firm.
  4. Cut into 1/4-inch slices; place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets, and cool completely on wire racks.
