Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 large baking tray
- A bag of fresh dates (pitted , )
- Parchment paper
- Coffee grinder or food processor
Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 200f/100c
- Chop the dates in half and place the dates evenly on the entire baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the baking tray in the oven and allow the dates to roast in the oven until they are SEMI HARD (not mushy) so keep a watchful on them during the entire process. How long the dates take to roast will be a few hours
- Keep a watchful eye on your dates as they SHOULD NOT burn, decrease the oven temperature if you need to, if they burn the recipe is ruined.
- Once done remove from the oven, set aside and let the dates cool completely they will harden as they cool down (you can leave them in the oven, switched off if you want to).
- Once cooled and hardened, pulse the dates in VERY SMALL segments (THIS IS CRUCIAL SO YOU DON'T DAMAGE YOUR PROCESSOR) using either a food processor/coffee grinder into a powdery form. The sugar may lump after pulverising, don't worry this is normal and still be used.
- Store in an airtight container (can last for several weeks)
