Ingredients
- 500 grams pitted dates
- 750 milliliters water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by ensuring all your dates are pitted. If any still have pits, remove them completely.
Step 2
In a large pot, combine the pitted dates with 750 milliliters of water.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Simmer the mixture for about 30 to 35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the dates have broken down completely and the water has been absorbed to create a thick, pulpy mixture.
Step 5
Remove the pot from heat and set a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl or another clean pot.
Step 6
Pour the date mixture into the strainer, pressing firmly and repeatedly with the back of a spoon or a spatula to extract as much syrupy liquid as possible. This step is crucial for creating a smooth syrup.
Step 7
Allow the strained liquid to cool for a few minutes. The syrup should be thick and smooth.
Step 8
Pour the extracted syrup into a sterilized glass jar or bottle for storage. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Step 9
Use this sirop de dattes to sweeten your favorite dishes, drizzle over pancakes or waffles, or even use it as a natural sweetener in teas and other beverages.
