Amaretto Balls Recipe


Ingredients

2 cup pecans, chopped finely
2 cup confectioner's sugar, sifted
2 cup chocolate wafer crumbs
2/3 cup amaretto
1 pecans, additional


Directions

Process pecans and wafers separately; combine in food processor with
sugar. SLOWLY pour in liqueur until mixture forms a ball. You might
not need the whole amount, depending on the humidity level. (If
mixture gets too wet, put it in the refrigerator -- uncovered --
overnight to dry out some.)

Shape into small balls; roll in additional finely chopped pecans.
Store in tightly sealed container. Yield: Not nearly enough.

Vicki's notes:

* One Christmas Eve I had to work, but I took a break to pop in a
bookstore. They were having an open house, and I managed to snarf a
lot of these morsels during those stolen minutes! After Christmas I
came back to hunt down the clerk who brought these -- my finest bit
of sleuthing yet...

* These are equally enjoyed and requested by my friends. Although
some have tried other liqueurs -- including bourbon -- the results
are never as good as the original!

* I substitute Oreos for the wafers, plus use only 1 1/3 C confec
sugar; don't worry about the cookies' filling because it is nothing
more than confec sugar.


Servings: 4 dozen

The History of Recipes

Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be traced far back into history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.

During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the chefs of Roman times used many different spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise for example basil, mint and dill.

In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the holy lands, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to an increase in recipe books, the majority of which still exist in private libraries.

By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery publications are greatly in demand mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and disposable income.
