Comment préparer Holiday Date Roll

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup pitted dates, 1 cup chopped pecans, 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup cherry juice.
Add 2/3 of the graham cracker crumbs (reserve the rest for later).
Mix thoroughly with clean hands, similar to mixing a meatloaf, until well combined.
If the mixture seems too dry, gradually add the remaining cherry juice until it's sticky but firm enough to form into a loaf, similar in texture to thick cookie dough.
Divide the dough into two equal sections.
Sprinkle 1/2 of the reserved graham cracker crumbs on a large sheet of waxed paper.
Place one dough section onto the prepared waxed paper.
Gently roll the dough into a log, like a thin jelly roll, ensuring the crumbs coat the outside.
Wrap the log tightly in the waxed paper, then again in plastic wrap to seal.
Repeat steps 6-9 with the remaining dough section.
Place both logs in a large zip-top plastic bag to retain moisture and prevent refrigerator odors.
Refrigerate for at least several weeks (the longer, the better!).
To serve, slice crosswise into 1/2-inch thick rounds and enjoy!
