Ingredients
- 1 Handful Dates Preferably fresh, but dried ones will work too.
- 1 Cup Water Add enough water to cover all the dates.
- 1 Teaspoon Flavor This is an added extra, not essential. Try Vanilla, Cinnamon, Spices, Pinch of Salt (for a caramel taste), Cacao (for a chocolate version).
Instructions
- Heat the datesCover the dates with enough water and make sure all pipes are removed. If you have stubborn pips, don't worry, you can remove them later. Add in whatever other flavors you've chosen at this point.
- Simmer on lowEventually, all the water will be soaked up by the dates. At this point, you can top up with more water if necessary to make sure they're all really soft.
- Blend once softPlace all the softened (still warm) dates in a blender of your choice. If necessary, add extra water and blend further until the date paste is completely smooth.
- Turn into liquid syrupKeep topping up with more water and blending further until great pouring consistency is reached. You can also keep the end product as a paste and thin it out just before using it.
