Method
- 01Toast the macadamias until they smell of something, then cool completely.
- 02Pulse the nuts to a coarse rubble. Not a paste — it should still be mortar.
- 03Add the dates, Davidson plum and quandong and pulse again.
- 04Loosen with the wine, add the cinnamon myrtle, and check the texture. It should hold a shape on a spoon.
- 05Make it the day before. It is better for sitting.
