Raw Date Syrup

I had a recipe for vegan brownies which called for date syrup. After having no luck purchasing date syrup I decided to research making it. It so simple I can't believe I was looking to purchase it!

I did find conflicting recipes though...

The first was to use 10 dates (I always use Medjool) in 1 3/4 cups water.

I tried this but it seemed too watery. then I came across a recipe citing 1:1 ratio of water to dates.

This seemed to do just the trick!

 

Recipe:

1 cup Medjool dates

1cup water

 

Directions:

Soak dates in water in blender or food processor at least ten minutes.

Process until smooth. About 2-4 minutes.

Store in jar in fridge.
