We like to stuff deglet noor dates with a couple of toasted blanched almonds, and to make them even more candylike, put them in the food dehydrator for a while. (before stuffing them). These are a great holiday treat, especially if you are going to have guests who expect candy/pie/dessert. When I eat these, I sit down with a few dates and a small bowl full of toasted blanched almonds, and keep the dates going a long time while I finish the almonds. We buy Pavich organic dates (and raisins, prunes, etc) http://www.pavich.com _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
