Baked Peaches With Almond Paste (pareve)
Puree the almond mixture ahead of time if you like, but wait until the last minute to cut and stuff the peaches, or they'll turn brown.

Sweet, Spicy, and Crunchy Nuts
With Purim not only comes the responsibility of finding the perfect costume but the pressure of filling up the shalach manot basket with just the right home made treats and Purim supplies. Groggers and masks and hamentashen are always welcome but I say no way to the pre made pre packaged cookies and candy. Purim is supposed to be about giving the homemade stuff.
I take the opportunity to say NUTS to the kitschy, filled with preservatives and dye 2 year shelf life stuff. Literally I say NUTS and then run to the grocery and grab gobs and lots of pecan, walnuts, cashews, macadamia, pistachios and almonds to concoct sweet and spicy treasures to share with my friends.
I buy in bulk and it keeps the cost way down. I make up huge batches, use self sealing plastic bags and then divide them among the baskets. Sort of an assembly line run by a slightly demented Mr. Peanut.
The following recipes can all be made a week or two ahead of when you need to deliver the baskets. All are simple to make, delicious to eat and are guaranteed to make your basket the one everyone remembers. For the most part, you can substitute margarine for butter to keep things pareve but it does alter the consistency and taste slightly.
Note: Just make sure you label the packages so that anyone with a specific nut allergy (peanut) or is lactose intolerant will have a heads up and not have to make a quick trip to the emergency room
