6.5 oz pitted dates, roughly chopped
7 oz mixed glace cherries, halved
1.75 oz hazelnuts, toasted, skins removed
1.75 oz almonds, toasted
1.75 oz macadamia nuts, toasted
7 oz dark chocolate, roughly chopped
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp cracked black pepper (optional)
1 None orange, finely grated zest
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup honey
3 tbsp unsalted butter

1
Preheat oven 300u00b0F. Lightly grease an 8 inch springform cake pan and line with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, combine dates, cherries, nuts, chocolate, pumpkin pie spice, pepper (if using) and orange zest.
3
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, honey and butter. Heat on medium, stirring, until sugar begins to melt - do not stir again or the sugar will crystallize.
4
Bring to a boil and cook for 3-5 mins, until a little of the caramel dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that can be molded with fingers.
5
Working quickly, pour caramel over nut mixture. Mix well. Pour into prepared pan. Smooth top with a spatula. Bake for 10-15 mins. Allow to cool in pan.
6
If the mixture has not set when cooled to room temperature, chill until set. Dust with powdered sugar, cut into small wedges and serve with coffee.
