Ingredients:

1 pod cardamom (seeds removed and ground with almonds)

2 pounds fresh cherries, pitted

1 handful dates

2 Egg whites

1 cup Ground almonds

1 tablespoon honey

dash rosewater

dash salt

1/2 cup water

Equipment:

baking paper

oven

sauce pan

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. For the torte: Whip the egg whites with the dash of salt until they form stiff peaks.
  2. Whip in the honey and gently fold into the ground almonds and cardamom seeds.
  3. Place mixture on well greased trays (or use baking paper). I like to divide the mixture into four on two trays.
  4. Spread the mixture out to about a 3/4 of an inch thick and in a circle.
  5. Bake at about 250 to 300 degrees F for around 15 minutes. Keep an eye on them and dont let them burn on the bottom.
  6. For the cherry filling: I advise soaking the dates in boiling water for about 5 minutes and put them through a tami or puree them so any skins are removed.
  7. Heat the cherries and water gently in a saucepan with the lid on until they are hot.
  8. Remove the lid and add the dates and reduce the juices down.
  9. Turn the heat off and cool slightly before adding the rose water.
  10. To put the torte together: Whip fresh cream and add honey.
  11. On one layer of torte add the cherries and then the cream.
  12. Put another layer of torte and repeat.

Food Trivia

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
