Ingredients
- 500 grams Dried dates
- 750 milliliters Water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by roughly chopping the dried dates to help them soften faster during cooking.
Step 2
Place the chopped dates in a medium saucepan and pour in the water.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 4
After 30 minutes, the dates should be very soft and have absorbed a lot of the water. Remove the saucepan from heat.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then transfer it to a blender or food processor. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste-like consistency.
Step 6
Set a fine mesh strainer or a cheesecloth over a bowl and pour the blended date mixture into it.
Step 7
Press the mixture through the strainer using a spoon or spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. This is your date syrup.
Step 8
Transfer the syrup back to the saucepan and return it to the stove over low heat. Simmer for an additional 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup has thickened to your desired consistency.
Step 9
Let the sirop de datte cool completely before transferring it to a clean, dry glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Step 10
Store the date syrup in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks. Enjoy as a natural sweetener in various dishes or beverages.
