Too sweet. Next time will use only 1 tablespoon honey.

Made as written. Used white sangria as the sweet wine and was delish.

Used 2 tbsp honey and it was great. Note that finely chopping dried figs is easier said than done, since they’re so sticky!!

This is a keeper! Left out the wine; it was sweet enough without. Added more lemon juice. Next time will cut back on the honey.

I cooked the fruit and spices down in a Dutch oven before add the pecans and it was delicious

I make mine with dates, figs, almonds, and sweet wine. Simple and you control the sweetness with the fruit.
