                Rather than regular raisins this recipe is better with Zante currents (small, strongly flavored raisins) and a little orange rind. This is the version of the recipe that the gifted caterer Martha Boynton of Annapolis uses.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup raisins, chopped
  • 1/4 cup rum, kirsch, or warm tea
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 large egg whites
  • Pinch salt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup chopped dried figs

Directions

Place raisins and liquor or tea in a small bowl; set aside. In a small saucepan, bring sugar and a little more than 1/2 cup water to a boil. Continue boiling until syrup reaches 234 degrees to 238 degrees on a candy thermometer (soft-ball stage).

Place egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat on low speed until foamy. Add salt and beat on medium-high speed until stiff but not dry; do not overbeat.

With mixer running, add syrup to whites in a stream, beating on high speed until no longer steaming, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla and beat until well incorporated.

For the filling, transfer one-third of the frosting to a medium bowl. Drain raisins and stir into the frosting along with walnuts and figs.
