Gina's Gems Preparation

Cut a slit along one side of the date to open and allow for stuffing. Remove the pit. In a small bowl, marinate the dates in the wine for at least one hour or overnight. Drain the dates (reserving the wine).

Meanwhile, in a separate bowl chop the pistachios and mix with the cream cheese. Place a teaspoon of cheese/nut mixture into each date. Wrap each stuffed date with a thin slice of prosciutto. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top and drizzle a tablespoon of reserved marinade to keep prosciutto moist.

Serve with lime wedges.

These gems may be heated in a preheated 350 degrees oven for 10 minutes and served warm! Yummy!

I have also stuffed other dried fruits such as figs or apricots. Use your favorite nut and call them your own Gems! [I posted this recipe.]
