Ingredients
- 2 cups dried dates, pitted
- 2 cups water
Instructions
-
Soak dates for 1-2 hours (or even over night, if your dates are very dry). If you're using fresh dates, soaking time will be much shorter.
-
Drain dates, but reserve the water. Put dates into your blender or food processor. Blend adding one by one tablespoon of soaking water until you get desired consistency.
-
Transfer date paste in a jar and store in a fridge for 1-2 weeks. Or freeze in ziplock bags for up to 3 months.
