      Title: Date Swirls
 Categories: Pastry
      Yield: 40 Swirls

MMMMM---------------------------DOUGH--------------------------------
      1 c  Butter
  1 1/2 c  Unbleached white flour
    1/2 c  Sour cream

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
      2 c  Dates; chopped
    1/2 c  Water
    1/3 c  Honey
      3 tb Butter

  Cut butter into flour until well blended (a food processor will do
  this in 10 seconds with the chopping blade). When the texture is that
  of corn meal, add sour cream and mix well until thoroughly blended.

  Cut dough evenly in half, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 4
  hours (set dough in the freezer for the first half hour if you're
  pinched for time) or overnight.

  Set a 1 qt saucepan over medium heat and add dates, water, honey, and
  butter. Bring to a boil and simmer, stirring occasionally until
  mixture is relatively smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
