Dates Stuffed with Cream Cheese and Pecans, This is a recipe that my mother makes as a quick appetizer for special occasions It may seem like an odd combination of flavors at first, but trust me, these can be addictive!, I had little time this morning to make my contribution for about 20 monks coming to the Tree Trimming Party tonight in our deanery at Saint John’s Abbey so I kept it quite simple I split the dates and turned them all upside down on a tray dusted with sugar Then I filled each with cream cheese and a piece of California walnut I arranged them on a bright serving dish and covered it with plastic wrap before putting them in the refrigerator until needed early this evening –Bro Richard osb , I really thought the cream cheese could have been jazzed up for sure Maybe mixed with a little honey and cinnamon, some nutmeg would have been nice too Just thought it was missing a touch of sweetness and a little spice
