In a medium bowl, combine all dip ingredients.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, fry the prosciutto or bacon until very crispy - is there any other way?!

Remove the bacon and in the same pan again over medium heat, fry the dates for 2-3 mins together with extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp of honey, a pinch of spice and preferred seasonings.

Remove the dates and set aside.

To the same pan add the honey, spice, Tabasco and salt.

Simmer for 1-2 minutes whilst gently stirring. Store the honey in a heatproof dish and keep warm until serving.

Note: Using the same pan not only reduces washing up but also retains the flavors from the prosciutto and dates. What a win!
