Dulcia Domestica

Ingredients

• 12 pitted dates
• 0.25 cup chopped, toasted pine nuts
• 3 tablespoons red wine
• 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup honey

Steps

1. Stuff dates with chopped nuts: the nuts are inserted into the space left by the pit.
2. Place dates in a small pan. Sprinkle with pepper if desired. Add wine, then drizzle honey over dates. Cook over medium heat until the skins begin to peel off the fruit. Transfer dates to a serving dish, and allow to cool slightly before serving.
