Pudding Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Dates

    In a bowl, combine the pitted medjool dates and boiling water. Let them soak for about 15 minutes until they soften.

  2. 2

    Blend the Mixture

    After soaking, transfer the dates and water to a blender. Add baking soda and blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Slowly add the blended date mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.

  6. 6

    Add Dry Ingredients

    Fold in the dry ingredients gently until no streaks of flour remain, being careful not to overmix.

  7. 7

    Bake Pudding

    Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30-35 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, heavy cream, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract.

  3. 12

    Bake Crumble

    Spread the crumble mixture onto a baking sheet and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Candied Pecans Preparation

  1. 13

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a saucepan, combine pecan halves, brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and salt.

  2. 14

    Cook the Pecans
