MashaAllah, I cant wait to make for this Ramadan.
This is superb! After serving them, I'm sure to get a lot of dates this Ramadan!
How do I store these after adding grounded nuts with dates,
I assumed refrigerating is the best
place them in a air-tight container then place the container in the fridge.
how long can i eat it when i put it in the fridge with an air-tight container?
If it's cheese around 1 week, if it's almond paste, 1 month.
If I use store bought ground almond, how many cups would it be?
oh not sure - I have never made almond paste with store ground almond. I always use whole fresh almonds, the flavors will be much better!
