Sweet and crunchy, these little appetizers are definitely worth trying!
12 dates
12 blanched almonds
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 pinch black pepper
Carefully remove the pits from the dates, replacing each one with a whole almond.
Pour the honey into a heavy saucepan and place it on low heat.
When the honey is liquid, add the cinnamon and pepper; stir well.
Put the stuffed dates in the honey and stir gently to coat. Leave on very low heat for 5 minutes until the dates are hot. Watch the sauce so that it doesn’t boil or even simmer.
Serve warm, or let cool and eat. Enjoy!
