Ingredients

• 15–20 large dates
• 1 cup (125 g) walnuts
• 1/3 cup (45 g) pine nuts
• 1 teaspoon long pepper or black pepper
• 1 cup honey
• Fine sea salt

Directions

1. Slit the dates on one side and remove the pits. Grind the nuts to the preferred texture and finely grind the pepper. Combine the filling and pack into the dates.

2. Roll the filled dates in fine salt. Gently simmer the honey for about 10 minutes, watching that it does not boil over.

3. Place dates cut-side up in the honey. Spoon honey over them and cook 45–60 seconds. Transfer to parchment and cool about 10 minutes.
