Date syrup is an awesome vegan substitute for sugar and sweeteners when you’re baking, but it also just tastes so darn good on bread, fruit, and more. Making it is super simple and it’s a great way to sweeten your life naturally.

Ingredients

  • Neutral oil
  • 1 pound of dates
  • 4 cups of water

Recipe

  1. Use the oil to grease some scissors or kitchen sheers so when you cut up the dates they won’t stick so much.
  2. Pit the dates and use the scissors or shears to cut them into small pieces. You can use a knife, but cutting them is easier.
  3. Pour the water in a medium pot and put in the dates as well. Simmer them together over medium heat for 30 minutes stirring a few times throughout.
  4. Turn off the heat and let it sit for 30 minutes.
  5. Pour everything into a blender and blend until really smooth, 1-2 minutes.
  6. Use a few layers of cheesecloth to line a fine-mesh sieve, pour the puree into it, and strain into a bowl.
  7. Taste the syrup, and if you’re happy, store right away. If you want it thicker or sweeter, return it to the stove for 20-30 minutes, cool, and then store for up to 3 weeks in the fridge!

Homemade date syrup 😍. . . Rich in fiber, iron and calcium. Just sharing the recipe here as few of my friends @dine_with_danika and @foodie_singh_kour wanted me to share the recipe. Here you girls 🤗 and All you need for this syrup are just dates and water. . . 1. Bring the water to a rolling boil and in the meanwhile chop the dates roughly and add them to the boiling water and switch off the stove. . 2. Let it sit uncovered for 2-3 hours as it helps softening the dates and extracting the juice out of it. . 3. Strain the dates with the help of muslin cloth and squeeze out the juice as much as you can by loosening it multiple times and squeeze again. . 4. Transfer the liquid to a thick bottomed pan and on low to medium heat bring to a rolling boil. This may take around 30-45 min. . 5. Now lower the flame and dip a spoon into the syrup and lift it, the dripping should be slow like honey,then it’s reached, switch off the stove & let it cool to room temp. . 6. Then transfer the syrup to airtight glass container(make sure there’s no moisture) and store it up to 2 weeks in room temp and up to 3 months in refrigerator. . . #thefeedfeed #homemade #homemadedatesyrup #datessyrup #dates #sweetener #ramadan #mycurryveda #mycurryvedabyshravani #food #foodie #foodiesofinstagram #eeeeeats #foodphotography #foodstyling #foodfluffer #gloobyfood #wahhindia #yesindia #indianfood #indianfoodbloggers #fbci #livingfoodz #ndtvfood
