Date Paste
Date Paste
This is a wonderful sweetener to have on hand for baking or to smear on buttered bread or mix into yogurt. It lasts a few weeks in the fridge in a seal proof container, but it probably won’t last that long!
Ingredients:
2 cups pitted Medjool dates (plus soaking water)
1/2 cup water
1 tsp cinnamon
Directions:
Soak the dates in boiling water for at least 20 minutes.
Drain and in a food processor combine the dates, ½ cup water and cinnamon. Process until smooth.
Store the date paste in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It should last several weeks.
