Old-Fashioned Date Nut Roll
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
When I was a child my mother made this candy every Christmas. I can remember her pouring it onto waxed paper, shaping it into a roll, then wrapping the whole thing in a dish towel and putting it in the refrigerator.
OLD- FASHIONED DATE NUT ROLL
3 c. sugar
1 c. milk
1 (10-oz.) pkg. pitted dates, chopped
2 c. chopped pecans
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Butter (for greasing waxed paper)
Boil the sugar and milk to soft ball stage, stirring constantly. Add pecans and dates and continue stirring until dates soften. Remove from heat. Add vanilla. Stir until thick. Pour mixture onto buttered waxed paper and shape into a roll. Wrap the roll (waxed paper and all) into a dish towel and store it in the refrigerator. Cut into slices to serve.

I was at my sisiter-in-laws and and stated that “When I was little my mother always make date roll at Christmas, but I have no idea how she made it. My mother passed 1984 and the recipe was lost. My sister-in-law suggested that I look it up “on line” and with her help I found your recipe. The thing that that was so great was your line of “When I was a little girl…..” Thanks I have looked for the recipe for over 10 years! Happy New Year

Thanks so much. We lost this recipe which our grandmother made. Does anyone know where or how it originated?
