"This dish of dates stuffed with chopped nuts is a 'home style treat' that was once savored in ancient Rome. You can replace the pine nuts with almonds if you prefer."

Very good , everyone liked them. My only gripe is that they stuck to that pan and the plate ......... they needed to be pried off with a knife ! Maybe my ratio of honey was off so I will try again.

This recipe was sooooo good, I loved the aroma of the dates, pinenuts and the wine as it was cooking. It was a nice after dinner treat. stuffing the dates was not so bad as long as you don't chop the nuts to fine. Thank you for a wonderful recipe. Most certainly worth a try.

I give 5 * for flavour, but I'd deduct one * for the time-consuming preparations. We enjoyed these with the peppery honey glaze... it does lend a touch. Great, unusual snack!

A little unusual at first, but very addictive. In the future, I'll just stir in the pine nuts. Stuffing the dates is what takes up all of your time.

Certainly one of the more interesting things I've ever cooked. Although the taste was strange to me at first, I ended up eating them compulsively, so I would have to give them high marks. I love dates, though. :)

This was amazing! I didn't grind up the nuts -- just stuffed them in whole. Also used much less wine and honey than called for, and it was still plenty. I served this with little toothpicks stuck in and it was beautiful and delicious. The only thing I'm not sure of is whether this should be served as a side dish or dessert!

I was a little hesitant, but after reading other's reviews, I thought I'd give it a whirl. And boy, am I glad I did! I made this for an event I 'catered', and was thrilled with the flavor of the dates. I do not, as a rule, like dates, but as I 'tested' one, I almost decided to keep them all to myself! The pine nuts add a great flavor, and the honey is divine. I had no problems with anything sticking. I also had to reheat, as I made them the night before, but had no issues there either: I cooked them for less time than necessary, then finished the product the following evening. They went quickly, and I definitely plan on making them for my annual Christmas party! Must be served hot for best flavor.

Easy to make, looked beautiful, but tasted too strongly of wine. Plus, it doesn't taste good reheated at all. I think that next time I'll try using cranberry juice and a tsp of wine because this recipe does have potential.
