Given my aversion to sugar alternatives, I had my doubts, but, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this syrup.<\/p>\n<p>Date syrup has a delightful caramel flavor; and, with a hint of citrus and salt from the preserved lemon, this syrup tastes fresh and complex. The syrup works well as a sweetener in my son\u2019s favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/thesteadycook.com\/2020\/10\/21\/berry-smoothie-with-date-syrup\/\"><strong>Berry Smoothie<\/strong><\/a>. It also dissolves well in hot drinks, such as my <a href=\"https:\/\/thesteadycook.com\/2020\/10\/21\/fall-coffee-with-cinnamon-and-date-syrup\/\"><strong>Fall Coffee with Cinnamon and Date Syrup<\/strong><\/a>. Dates are a good source of fiber and are full of important vitamins and minerals, making this syrup a healthy alternative to cane sugar.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-986 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thesteadycook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Dates_in_bag-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thesteadycook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Dates_in_bag-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thesteadycook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Dates_in_bag-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thesteadycook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Dates_in_bag-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thesteadycook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Dates_in_bag-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thesteadycook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Dates_in_bag-1-500x500.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Making date syrup is super easy! To start, you will need one cup of dates. I prefer Medjool dates in this recipe. They have a soft, creamy texture and a lovely, rich caramel flavor. You will also need one cup of boiling water. Pit the dates and add to a glass jar. Cover the dates with the hot water and let sit for one hour to allow the dates to soften. After one hour, pur\u00e9e dates, water, and half of a slice of preserved lemon (<a href=\"https:\/\/thesteadycook.com\/2020\/10\/22\/preserved-lemons\/\"><strong>see recipe here<\/strong><\/a>) using a high-speed blender, such as a <strong>Vitamix<\/strong> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/NutriBullet-NB9-1301S-Pro-Silver-900W\/dp\/B07SW1QCSR\/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&amp;keywords=nutribullet&amp;qid=1602521543&amp;sprefix=nutri&amp;sr=8-3\"><strong>NutriBullet<\/strong><\/a>, until smooth.\u00a0 If you do not have preserved lemons on hand, substitute with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and a pinch of salt.<\/p>\n<p>If your syrup is too thick to blend easily, add additional hot water to loosen up the syrup. You want the syrup to be thick and the consistency of an apple butter. Store syrup in a glass jar in the refrigerator. The syrup will keep well for up to 3 weeks. Use to sweeten coffee, smoothies, oatmeal, or baked goods.<\/p>\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-637\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"637\"
