Pecan and Date Syrup Biscotti

I enjoy baking biscotti when the weather starts cooling down because it goes perfect with that afternoon coffee that we all wait for when we start feeling tired by mid day. I used silan (date syrup) to reduce to amount of sugar but keep the sweetness to this delicate afternoon treat. Combined with pecans and orange, you obtain the perfect biscotti!
