Ingredients
- 1 pound Medjool dates
- 7 cups hot water
Instructions
- Pit the Medjool dates and place them in a large pot. Pour hot water over the dates and let them soak for 30 minutes. Keep in mind there is no need to peel the dates.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soaked dates and water until smooth. You can use a regular blender to do so as well.
- Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot and let it cook for 1 hour and half until it darkens in color and slightly thickens. Turn the heat off and let the mixture come to room temperature.
- Place a nut milk bag over a large bowl and strain the date mixture in two batches to extract the liquid.
- Pour the strained liquid back into the pot and simmer over medium-low heat for 40 minutes or until the syrup reaches your desired consistency. Keep the pulp for further use mentioned in the notes.
- Let the syrup cool completely before transferring it to a sterilized glass jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Strain for a smooth texture: Use a nut milk bag or cheesecloth to separate the liquid from the pulp. Press down firmly to extract every last drop of syrup.
- Adjust thickness: Simmer for 40 minutes for a thinner syrup, or up to an hour for a thicker, molasses-like texture. Keep in mind that it thickens as it cools, so don’t overcook it.
- Don't throw the pulp away: The pulp left after straining is still dates. You can use it to make date balls, add it to your smoothies or baked goods.
