  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     3/4  cup           pecans
     1/2  cup           pitted dates, chopped
       2  tsp           orange zest -- use more, if desired
       1  pinch         sea salt
     1/4  tsp           cinnamon
     1/2  tsp           white miso -- double amount, if desired
       1  tbsp          maple syrup
     1/4  cup           shredded coconut

Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Place pecans on a cookie sheet and bake/toast for about 10 minutes, until they begin to give off aroma.
Put all ingredients except coconut in food processor. Pulse until you have an even mealy texture. With moist hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Spread coconut on a plate and roll each ball in the coconut, covering each one evenly.
Serve with orange slices from the orange you zested.
