"My mom got this recipe from our next door neighbor when I was a child, Becky Corwin. When I was a child, she made it a lot and I hated the dates in it. But I'm ready to try it again because my tastes have matured a lot. If you don't like dates, I'm thinking you could sub in raisons or dried figs."
