Dateberry Delish

I really should leave the creation of names up to someone else, but while the name I have given these treats might seem a bit bland that is certainly not the case with these delectable morsels.



Ingredients:

  • Medjool dates (fresh dates from the fridge at your grocer)
  • Small strawberries (smaller berries have more flavour)
  • Thick balsamic vinegar (I prefer the Mazzetti gold label - 4 leaf vinegar)
  • Honey
  • Roasted, salted cashews

Method:

Slice the strawberries thinly and drizzle with balsamic. Allow these to rest while you slice each date in half lengthways, removing the stone.

Place the strawberries in the halved dates, trickle honey over the portion then top with a cashew. If you like you can also add a few flakes of pick Murray River Salt for a great flavour contrast.

Simple, quick and amazing with espresso, turkish/greek coffee or black turkish tea.
