  This recipe was found on an ancient Egyptian ostraca dated to 1600 BCE

Ingredients: 1 cup fresh Dates, with pits removed Ingredients: 1 cup fresh pitted dates 1/4 cup water 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon ½ cup chopped Walnuts 1 ½ cups Honey 1 cup finely ground Almonds

 Directions:

Chop the dates into small pieces and blend in water. Add cinnamon and chopped walnuts, and roll into balls. Dip each ball in a bowl of honey and roll until fully covered. Remove with a spoon and roll in ground almonds. Place on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper until ready to serve. Refrigerate if not serving immediately. The sweets may also be rolled in powered sugar to make them easier to handle.
