Crispy Red Dates
I first tried crispy red dates at a friend’s home and fell in love with them right away. We had a bumper harvest of red dates at home, which I dried to make homemade candied dates. I’ve been tinkering with crispy red date recipes lately—they’re fragrant, crisp, sweet, delicious, and make a great healthy snack.
