Hey, lovelies.

Today, I want to share the date paste I use in most of my baking. I have been using date paste to bake for more than three years now I must confess, it has been a staple in baking. Using date as a sweetener in my baking does not mean I don’t use sugar at all, NO! I use organic cane sugar once in a while, like thirty percent.

This date recipe can last two to three weeks in the fridge if you use a dry spoon to scoop it anytime you want to use it. Make sure it doesn’t come in contact with water. I used a little water to get a soft texture and placed it on the stove on low heat to drain the water. Draining the water on the stove will not make it go bad.

You can easily blend soaked dates to use in your baking however, you need to use it instantly or keep it for a day because it may go bad. https://kiddiesplate.com/2021/02/17/home-made-date-paste/  Here I have the recipe for instant date paste.
