Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pecan nuts
  • 2 cups firmly packed chopped dates
  • 1 cup caster sugar
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 Tbsp grated orange rind
  • 1/3 cup orange juice

Instructions
 

  • Place nuts on an oven tray and cook in a moderate oven 180°C (360°F) for 10 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Remove and cool. Roughly chop.
  • Combine chopped dates, sugar, honey, orange rind and juice in a saucepan. Cook, stirring, over a medium low heat for 15 minutes, or until thickened. Stir in the chopped nuts. Remove and stand for 10 minutes.
  • Spoon half the date mixture onto a sheet of baking paper 40cm in length. Roll up and shape into a 25cm log (be careful – the mixture may still be very hot). Repeat process to make a second log. Refrigerate until firm.
  • To serve, remove logs from fridge and bring to room temperature. Slice and arrange on a platter with cheeses, dried fruit, fresh fruit and crackers.
