Orange, Date, And Walnut Drops

Dried dates are naturally rich, chewy, and intensely sweet, so they marry well with oranges and walnuts in these easy candies. If you find the mixture sticky to work with, rub a little canola oil on your hands before rolling the balls.

Ingredients

Serves: Prep:  20min |Cook: 3hr 30min |Total: 3hr 50min
              

Directions

1.
Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until the sugar melts and the syrup is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
2.
Remove from the heat and stir in the dates, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Let stand for about 20 minutes or until still warm but not hot. Add 1/4 cup of the walnuts and stir until combined. Chill for 1 hour.
3.
Divide the mixture into 30 equal portions and roll each into a small ball. Place the remaining 1/2 cup walnuts in a bowl and roll each ball in the nuts to coat. Cover and chill for 2 hours to allow to set.
