This is a recipe I got off of the Florilegium, it looks great and easy. I was
going to use it to take advantage of a sale on dates (of which I bought
boodles)

#188 To make a date tart
Cut up the dates and take out the pits, cook them in sweet wine, let them
boil a little, lay them attractively in a pastry shell and sprinkle sugar and
cinnamon on top of it and lay the dates ina circle and again sprinkle sugar
and cinnamon on top. And make a cover over it and pour on it some of the
broth in which the dates were cooked, and let it bake.
(Translation by Valoise Armstrong)
My Version:This was not my (Hauviette's) redaction, I don't have the name of
the person unless it's Valois. Just wanted to give credit where due.
1 pastry shell
1 pastry top
10 oz. whole dates
1 cup sweet wine
Sugar
Cinnamon
Pit dates and cut them into halves. Place dates in pan with wine and bring
to a boil. Boil for 5 to 10 minutes, then remove dates and let cool. Place
a layer of dates in the pastry shell then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
Place another layer of dates into pastry shell, then sprinkle with sugar and
cinnamon. Continue in this way until pastry shell is full. Place top crust
on pastry, pierce with knife and pour some of the wine the dates were cooked
in over the top crust. Bake at 425 for 30 minutes.
