| Add sweetness to pancakes, smoothies, and such with yummy date syrup. |
For now it's the final Daytonian First Friday for me. Psyched about seeing great art and sampling fruit. I Never stop sampling free fruit. One of my favorite dried fruits is a medjool date. It's especially addicting whenever stuffed with Peanut Butter & Company's amazing award-winning Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter and raw walnuts. Okay, I may have been stretching the award-winning peanut butter just a bit but everyone and their mamas know that Dark Chocolate Dreams is the best chocoholic pb lover's treat.
With medjool dates, possibilities are endless.
Thanks to Oh, Ladycakes and sticky, dried fruit goodness, we have a rich, caramel like syrup that is thick and oozing sweet. One could simply mix soaked dates and water- voila! Instant dripping sap. Additions like lemon juice, vanilla bean, and even coriander (which I used here) can bring extra flavor flare to this great simple syrup! Cannot wait for the weekend. Stacked "buttery" pancakes galore.
Raw Date Syrup Ingredients and Preparation
9 medjool dates
1 1/4 cup water
pinch of ground coriander (optional)
 |
| Soak dates for 30 minutes to an hour. Or overnight if preferred. |
 |
| Drain. Place into blender with water and optional coriander. Puree well. |

 |
| Place into refrigerator. It keeps yum up to 2 weeks. |
