Date syrup

[Guest guest]

Happy Sunday Greetings!

 

I purchased something yesterday at one of my neighborhood Middle Eastern

stores, called date syrup. It looks like it has about the same consistency

of maple syrup, maybe a bit thicker. Has anyone ever used this in baking or

cooking? I am planning to experiment with it in baking, as an interesting

sub for other liquid sweeteners. I am thinking cookies and cakes, and sweet

breads. I will let you know the results! I think that it is probably alot

sweeter than other types of liquid sweeteners, just because dates themselves

are so very sweet. Mmmm, my thoughts are turning now to banana nut bread,

made with this date syrup...Yum!

 

Have a great weekend,

 

Christine

Christine,

 

That sounds soooo good! I LOVE dates. They are such a treat for us. Whenever

I am craving something sweet I eat one with a raw almond in the middle.

Yummy!!!

Hi Tracy,

 

Yes, I love dates too! They're so sweet, I can only eat 1, maybe 2 at one

sitting. They really do satisfy my sweet craving. Have you tried the date

candy that is made from only dates, coconut and almonds? I buy it from the

HFS, already made. I think it would be easy to make in a food processor, as

well.

 

Happy date-eating!
