The J.O. Sims Dates team have been busy preparing for the upcoming Christmas sales period by visiting suppliers in Morocco, Mexico, California and the UAE. Weather conditions have been favourable this year, which promises for an excellent crop, meaning customers can look forward to a great eating experience when tucking into a sweet date this Christmas. As dates are high in natural sugar and fibre, they are the perfect addition to both sweet and savoury dishes, whether that’s a pre-dinner canapé or Christmas sticky toffee pudding.

Below is an idea of one such canapé and for more inspiration please see the Medjool Date e-cookbook link too.
