For a richer flavor, consider using a fortified red wine such as port or sherry. If the paste is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before forming the balls. Experiment with different nuts, such as pecans or almonds, to create your own unique variation. Store the finished Date Haroset in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
