Finely dice the onions, bell peppers, and dates. Sauté the onions in olive oil, gradually adding the bell peppers and dates. After about 3 minutes, deglaze with white wine over high heat. Let it simmer, then melt the quince jelly into the mixture. Transfer to a plate, set aside, and cover. Add butter to the pan, toss the spaetzle in it over medium-high heat, and gradually add the cheese, mixing continuously. Add cream occasionally and mix until the cheese is creamy and melted. Mix the onions, bell peppers, and dates with the spices, toss with the spaetzle, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
