I use chopped dates in place of raisins in any recipe - I especially like oatmeal cookies with chopped dates & pecans - YUMM!

I used to make a cracker-cookie with chopped dates - really yummy!
Cook to mush: 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 1 lb of chopped dates - stir in chopped walnuts (optional) and spread on oval (Townhouse) crackers. Frost with a little vanilla canned frosting. Topping will firm up as it cools - Makes a BUNCH and I remember freezing them too. |

How about an Apple Date salad? So easy to fix!
1.Core and cut apples into bite size pieces, leaving the skins on. (I soak mine in Sprite or 7-Up for a few minutes to keep them from turning brown, then drain when ready to continue) 2.Add in the date pieces. 3. Mix in mini-marshmallows 4. Stir in Cool Whip into ingredients until blended. Voila...instant salad that goes great with any turkey, pork or chicken dinner. I sometimes mix in Spanish peanuts if you want to add a little crunch with a salty flavor!:) |
