Chopping Dates (or, for that matter, raisins or dried apricots or other dried fruit)

This is a thankless, sticky task. Here’s a way to make it easier.

Toss the dates with a little of the flour from the recipe until well coated. Then, using a pair of scissors, snip them into pieces. The flour should keep the bits of fruit from sticking to the scissors.

If you borrowed the scissors from the family sewing kit, don’t forget to wash them well before returning them. Oh — and don’t forget to return them.
