This date paste I'm sharing with you is super delicious and very easy to make. It can be used for sweetening cakes, use it in smoothies, etc.

The recipe is super easy:

Soak 2 cups of dates in water. Use just as much water as it covers all the dates completely. I usually soak them overnight and do the paste in the morning. Add the dates with the water into a blender and blend them until smooth.

Store them in a jar and use it anytime. It lasts very long, but I don't think it will last for more than 2 weeks, coz it's so yummy :)

Hm that looks interesting and yummy

I love dates but I eat as is. But it's a great idea to make a "jam" out of dates. Thanks for sharing :-)

Thank you very much :) I love dates the way they are, too, but I prefer the paste as a sweetener in cakes. It is easier to work with it than with plain dried dates

This is actually one of the best posts i've read on dates, the uses you listed are correct. The arabs called it Tamru, i love it and eat it often. With this post on it again, i wont stop eating dates. Thanks for sharing this. (Thumbs up)

Dear @humbledson, I'm so gald to hear that :) I eat dates on a daily basis, too. I love their taste and the health benefits, too. Just be careful not to eat too much, otherwise you'll start gaining weight.

Wow, too much of everything is bad, I almost forgot that fact. Smiles..# Thanks for the warning @plantbasedmiri
