Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (140g) Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1/4 cup (30g) pine nuts, lightly crushed
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) fine sea salt
  • 1/4 cup (85g) honey
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) water

Instructions:

  1. Slice each date lengthwise to create a pocket, ensuring the pit is completely removed.
  2. In a small bowl, toss the crushed pine nuts with the fine sea salt until evenly coated.
  3. Carefully press a pinch of the salty nut mixture into the center of each date.
  4. Place the honey and water into a skillet over medium-low heat.
  5. Stir constantly for 2–3 minutes until the honey becomes fluid and just begins to bubble slightly, ensuring it does not boil vigorously.
  6. Carefully place the stuffed dates into the simmering honey.
  7. Use a slotted spoon to roll the dates in the glaze for about 60 seconds until they are fully coated and glossy.
  8. Remove the dates from the heat and place them on a plate to cool for 5 minutes to allow the glaze to set.
