SPICED ORANGES AND DATES
Fresh oranges and dates in a spiced syrup. Recipe modified from a Woolworths Fresh Magazine recipe. I love fresh dates and this makes for a great fresh fruit dessert. Great served with fresh Greek yogurt or custard. You can add some orange liquer to make this extra special (add with the water and sugar). To toast your almonds- add them to a dry pan and heat them until fragrant and toasted. keep turned or tossed as they will toast quickly. Vegan suitable if served without the custard or yogurt
