[Sca-cooks] A question about dates and marzipan

[Elaine Koogler]

There is also documentation for marzipan-stuffed dried apricots...my source
was the Madrone Culinary Guild, who obtained it from the "Babarnama" or
"Memoirs of Babar", one of the Mughal Emperors in the 16th century.  The
name of the dish was Subhani, and it's absolutely to die for!!
