Marmalade Date Pastries Recipe

Prep: 15 min. Bake: 10 min. + cooling

Yield: 12 Servings

15 10 25

Ingredients

1 package (11 ounces) pie crust mix
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese
1 tablespoon milk
24 pitted dates
1/2 cup orange marmalade
Confectioners' sugar

Directions

Place the pie crust mix in a bowl. Cut in cream cheese until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and stir to form a ball. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion into a 12-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Cut into 3-in. squares.
Cut dates in half lengthwise; fill each with 1/2 teaspoon marmalade. Place a date in the center of each pastry square. Moisten corners with water; bring corners together, pinching dough to seal.
Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 2 dozen.
