No pumpkins were harmed in the making of these tarts.  Nevertheless, the warm flavours of fall shine through in healthy, date-sweetened treats.  But these cranberry date tartlets are not just for health nuts.  Finicky eaters might notice that the crust is unusual, but oddly enough, my normally skeptical children gave them a big thumbs up!

The rich, sweet flavour made my mouth glad to eat more, and my body seemed to tell me to “eat this, not that.”  “That” would be super sweet desserts that are made with white flour and refined sugar.  It’s so nice to feel better, not worse, after indulging in something sweet!
