Datenut Muffins

1 1/2 c Dates
3 c Hot water (120 degrees)
3/4 c Margarine
1 1/2 c Sugar
2 lg Eggs - extra large
1 1/2 ts Vanilla
1/3 ts Salt
1 1/2 c Water
1 1/2 ts Baking powder
1 c Pecans, coarsely chopped
2 1/2 c All purpose flour, sifted

Soak the dates in 3 cups hot water for 10 minutes. Drain the water and refrigerate dates for about 30 minutes; they must be cold before using. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together margarine and sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla, salt, 1 1/2 cups water, baking soda, pecans and flour, mixing as little as possible, until just moist. Fold in the dates. Place in muffin cups and bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
