- ¼ tablespoon maple syrup
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Soak the dates in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften, then drain and place them in a food processor.
- Blend the dates alone until they begin to break down into a paste.
- Gradually add the ½ cup of hot water, blending until well combined.

Notes
Makes 1 cup date caramel.
Storage: Transfer the date caramel to an airtight container or jar and keep it in the fridge. It will last for up to 1 week. The mixture will firm up a little as it chills, so give it a good stir before using. If it feels too thick, whisk in a teaspoon or two of warm water to loosen it back up.
