Method

• step 1

  To make the marmalade, put the quince, vinegar and a splash of water in a small pan. Simmer until melted together. Cool.

• step 2

  Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Mix all the stuffing ingredients together and shape into 24 balls. Open each date and remove the stone. Flatten the date by pressing slightly. Put 1 ball inside each date. The dates won’t be big enough to hold the ball but wrap with bacon and fix with a cocktail stick to hold it in. Bake for 15 minutes. Serve with the marmalade on the side and chestnuts and salad leaves to decorate.
