  <introduction>
    <![CDATA[<p>Cannabis is mixed with dried fruits, nuts, and spices to make the Moroccan candy called majoun, <em>love potion</em> in Arabic. Marijuana is considered an essential herb in Jamaica&#8217;s Rastafarian cooking. Cannabis seeds may be toasted and used as a condiment, ground and brewed as a coffee substitute, made into cakes, or fried. In Japan, the seeds, called <em>asanomi</em>, are one of the ingredients in the spice mixture <a href="http://www.chow.com/recipes/10602">Shichimi Togarashi</a>.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<ol>
	<li>Remove stems and seeds from marijuana tops, then dry and crumble the leaves. In a dry skillet, toast the leaves over very low heat until the aromas are released.</li>
		<li>Mix the leaves with raisins, walnuts, nutmeg, anise, ginger, honey, and water, adding more water if the mixture is too dry and crumbly.</li>
		<li>Simmer together until the mixture is soft and thick. Mash by hand or transfer to a food processor and blend, using several short pulses.</li>
		<li>Stir in butter, spoon into a jar, and refrigerate for storage. Spread on crackers or plain cookies, or use as a filling for stuffed cookies. Majoun will keep for 2 to 3 months refrigerated.</li>
