Stuffed Dates

"I found this recipe looking for Middle Eastern recipes for ZWT6 and realized that as far back as I can remember this was exactly the way my mom and paternal grandmother made stuffed dates for the holidays using our Louisiana pecans. So very good considering its simplicity."

  1. My mother also made up this recipe in the 1960's. I like the idea of trying them with pecans. My mother always used almonds. I have also made them by first briefly soaking the dates in rum before stuffing them.
     
  2. I remember my mom making these for holidays back in the 1950's when I was very young. She stuffed the dates with whole walnuts or walnut halves and rolled them in granulated sugar, and arranged them on a cut-glass plate. This just brought back memories.
     
  3. Healthy without the sugar!! I toasted blanched almonds in a dry pan and stuffed an extremely sweet type of Khaleeji dates, the other good reason I did not add the powdered sugar. Made for ZWT6, NA*ME regions, for my team, The Ya Ya Cookerhood.
     
  4. I will love making these for company! I toasted the almonds and used a little sieve to sugar the dates after stuffing. These were wonderful and so easy! My husband and I had them for "cocktail hour" tonight and we enjoyed them very much! I have a picture on my camera that I will post after I order another cord that just tonight I realized the kitty had chewed up! Thanks for a great simple recipe! I will serve this often!
     
  5. These were a nice little afternoon treat. I used almond slivers to stuff the dates. Made 15 dates and they're gone. I guess I'll have to make more! Made for ZWT6 Voracious Vagabonds.

Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too.
