This was great! The juicy sweetness of the oranges was a great foil for the dryer, chewy texture of the dates and almonds. The cinnamon accented the other flavors and tied the dish together. I did not use the orange flower water as I could not find it on short notice in Coeur d'Alene. I'll definitely have this this summer as a dessert with BBQ.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
