1
Place dates and wine in a small sauce pan. Make a small pouch for the spices. I usually put them in a coffee filter and then fold it over and staple the edges close. Add pouch to the dates and wine and heat over medium heat until gently simmering for ~12 minutes.
2
Remove dates from wine using a slotted spoon and place in a small serving bowl.
3
Raise heat to medium/high and begin to reduce the wine. When you reach ~2/3 cup, add sugar and stir to dissolve. Continue reducing until wine has become syrupying and thickens on the back of a spoon (~20 minutes).
4
Squeeze spice pouch and discard. Pour syrup over dates and stir gently to incorporate.
5
Spoon ~1/3 cup fresh ricotta into four small dishes and then spoon 4-5 dates plus syrup on top of the ricotta to serve.
