Instructions

Notes

How to Make Date Paste:
Pack dried and pitted dates tightly into a glass jar and cover with water. Allow the jar to sit at room temperature, overnight. Drain any excess water and move dates to a food processor to puree. Return date paste to jar and store in the fridge. Use as needed.
