1/2 cup honey
2 cups water
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup Cream of Rice

  1. Step 1

    Cut the dates into small pieces and combine them with the sugar and honey. Add the water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer gently.

Add the date mixture and the spices and mix thoroughly. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. This will take about 5 minutes. Stir in the coconut and remove from the stove.
