- 2 quarts boiling water
Instructions
- Wash the dates. Place them in a large pot and pour boiling water over them.

- Place the pot over medium heat and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Working with about 2 cups (500 ml) of the date mix at a time, pour the cooked dates into a large sieve or a cheesecloth placed on a large salad bowl.
- Crush them delicately by pressing them against the mesh with a wooden spoon and/or the hands.
- Once most of the liquid has run out the syrup is ready.
- Pour into jars and store in the refrigerator or in a cool place.
