JUJUBE CAKES

Ingredients:
Jujubes (hung tsou) or dates  - 250 gms
Glutinous rice flour - 250 gms

Method:

• Put the jujubes in a pan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil; simmer for one hour or until soft.
• Drain, then remove the skins and stones.
• If using dates, remove the stones and heat the dates slightly to soften the fruit.
• Beat the fruit to form a paste.
• Add the rice flour and knead together to make a soft dough.
• Roll out to 1/4" thick and cut out small shapes, using fancy cutters.
• Steam the cakes in a steaming tier or on a greased, fine mesh rack over a pan of boiling water for 5 minutes.
