1 cup dates
2 cups water
1/4 cup raw honey
1 cup cacao powder
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 whole fresh pineapple

1. Place the dates in the water and let soak for 1 hour, or until soft. Reserving the soak water, drain the dates and place them in a medium bowl.

2. Add the honey and 1/2 cup of the soaking water to the dates. Mix to combine.

3. To make the fondue, place the dates, cacao, and ginger in the food processor and mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

4. To prepare the pineapple, lay it on its side and cut off about 1/2-inch from the top and bottom so that it can stand flat.

5. Stand the pineapple on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the hard exterior, cutting from top to bottom.

6. Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise, then cut each piece in half lengthwise once again. Remove the core from each piece, then cut each piece into 1-inch slices.

7. Arrange the pineapple around the fondue dip. Use forks to dip the pineapple in the fondue and enjoy!

For a Change . . .
* For a fancier serving option, use wooden skewers to dip the pineapple in the fondue instead of forks—especially if you’re serving the fondue at a party.
* Instead of pineapple, dip orange sections, thinly sliced Asian pears, jicama slices, or raw or untoasted cashews into the fondue.
