Fig And Walnut Panforte

• 1/2 pound walnuts
• 1/2 pound dried figs, chopped( stems removed)
• 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 3/4 cup flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup honey

1. Mix the fruit and nuts together in a heat-proof bowl.
2. Toss with the flour and spices. ( mix the flour and spices first, then save some to dust the logs before baking)
3. Heat the sugar and honey together until the sugar is melted. Let cook for 2 minutes.
4. Pour the hot mixture onto the fruit and spice mixture. Mix using a spoon ( it is hot), then I find as it cools off i knead the mixture to blend well using my hands. If it is dry, add a little water.
5. Form 2 small logs and dust with some of the flour and spice mixture before baking.
6. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. rnLet cool. rnSlice thinly to serve.
