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