Add to Shopping List
Instructions
- Soak Medjool dates in 1 cup of boiling hot water for at least 1 hour. Transfer to a blender or food processor and blend (it’s ok if some chunks remain). You may need to add a bit of water to the blender. Sieve date mixture through a nut bag or double cheesecloth placed over a strainer, getting as much liquid out as possible.
- Return date mixture to blender, add another cup of boiling hot water and blend again, and sieve through the nut bag or cheesecloth again. You should end up with about 1 ½ cups of date liquid.
- Transfer the date liquid to a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium and continue boiling, stirring often, until it reaches the consistency of honey. Remove from heat - you should end up with about 1 cup of date syrup.
- Transfer the date honey to a jar, and seal well.

Notes
- Save the leftover date pulp to use in smoothies, French toast or mix with oatmeal. You can also use it in our Date Yule Log or Date Hamantaschen. Homemade date honey will thicken further upon cooling.
