Ingredients

  

• 1 lb dates
• 1 cup ground almonds
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 tbsp orange blossom water
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

 

• Make a lengthwise cut in the dates and remove the pits, set aside.
• Mix together the almonds, sugar, orange blossom water, and cinnamon to make a paste. If it's too dry, slowly add more almond blossom water.
• Roll small cylinders out of the almost paste about the same length as the dates and 1/2 of the width.
• Insert the almond paste cylinder into the cut dates and press the sides of the dates firmly around the paste.

Notes

I made the little slits in the paste for added visual effect using a fork.
