O' Natural Caramel Balls With Toasted Pecans: No Butter No Sugar Added

1. 1

   In a saucepan, mix together water, dates,and honey. Cook over medium heat until dates disintegrate and form a paste stirring occasionally (about 10 minutes).

2. 2

   While the dates are cooking, take another pan, heat up on medium high heat and toast pecans (about 3 minutes) stirring occasionally to prevent burning. This is better to leave less toasted than to over toast/burn if you are nervous about your nuts. Your end product will still be delicious. Set Aside until date paste is done

3. 3

   Remove date paste from heat and add vanilla and cinnamon. Let sit for 5 minutes to cool. Stir in chopped toasted nuts.

4. 4

   Once cool enough to handle, roll into balls. Roll in dried cranberries if desired. Store in an airtight container.
