- 1 cup water (, hot boiling)
Method
How to make Date Syrup
- Soak dates in boiling hot water for about 2 hours. If using a softer variety like medjol you can soak only for a while.
- Mash the dates using a masher. Strain through a nut bag or a muslin cloth, placed over a strainer. Squeeze the pulp well to extract the juices.
- Place the pulp back to the soaking bowl and add more water. Mash up and strain again.
- Add this water to a heavy bottom pot. Bring it to a boil and reduce the heat.
- Boil this until the mixture thickens and reaches a thick consistency. It will thicken further upon cooling.
- When done it becomes glossy and thick. Cool and pour dates syrup to a clean air tight jar.
- Refrigerate and use date syrup as required on your toasts, cakes, smoothies, ice creams and pancakes.
