How to Make Dulcia Domestica

  1. Preheat oven to 100°C (212°F).
  2. Carefully remove the pits from the Medjool dates.
  3. Fill each date with approximately 2-3g of chopped walnuts or pine nuts.
  4. Arrange the stuffed dates in a small ovenproof dish.
  5. Sprinkle the dates with a pinch of sea salt.
  6. Gently pour the honey (or honey-sweetened red wine) over the dates.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 80°C (176°F).
  8. Continue baking until the dates are softened and the skins begin to wrinkle, about 10-15 minutes more. Alternatively, if you prefer a more stovetop version, simmer the dates and honey mixture in a small saucepan over low heat until the skins are softened, approximately 10-15 minutes, ensuring not to burn the honey.
  9. Remove from oven or heat and let the Dulcia Domestica cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delightful bites of Roman history!
