How to Make Dulcia Domestica

Make sure that you clean the dates properly before use.

Stuff the nuts into the dates properly.
Place the dates into a small pan.
You can sprinkle some pepper on top if you prefer.
Add a little bit of red wine for flavor.
Drizzle honey over the stuffed dates.

Once you start noticing the skin peeling off, turn off the heat.
Transfer the dates into a serving dish.
Let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

The word “date” comes from the Greek word “daktylos” which means finger.
Dates can be used in numerous ways, including building materials.
Date palm trees can be dormant for years and spring back to life once adequate conditions are reached.
It has been argued that the real “forbidden Fruit” in the Bible was a date and not an apple.
