A neighbor used to make those every year as Christmas gifts. She called
them "Cherry Bombs".

MIL. Look up vishnick a.k.a. wisniak.

I do it for the flavor, not to make them alcoholic. The stuff I'm
soaking them in is about 20% at most.

John Kuthe...

I just read a recipe from a cookbook about soaking 1 lb pitted dates in
1 cup brandy turning occasionally until most of the brandy is absorbed,
about 24hrs. Stuff each date with a pecan halve. Press to close. Roll in
sugar. Store airtight in refrigerator.

They might be good for dipping.
