NUTTED FIGS

Use any kind of figs ; wash them well and cut open and lay over night in claret or a mixture of wine and sherry. Then roll in a mixture made of ground nut meats, some orange peel and chopped citron; a few dried prunes and apricots cut fine and candied fruits also cut up — try to add the candied rhubarb as it gives a fine flavor. After rolling both sides of the figs with this coil up close with a toothpick.
