Homemade Dates Syrup | Natural Sweetener

dates syrup

Dates in one with more iron content. Anemic people and pregnant women must eat this daily. But it is very difficult to make my toddler son eat it. I decided to search for any method of making him have this fruit and landed in swathi 's place where she had a method of making syrup using it. I made it, added to my son's milk and he just loved it.


Preparation time: 10mins
Soaking time: 1 hour
Cooking time:20min
Recipe type: Sweetener
Recipe Cuisine: Indian
Author: Babitha

Ingredients:


  • Seedless dates- 1 cup
  • Hot boiling water- 1 cup





Method:

1.Soak the dates in hot boiling water for more than 2 hours.

2. Smash it well and filter it through a muslin cloth. Add some more hot water through the pulp and squeeze it.


3.Keep this water in flame and bring to boil,stir continuously to avoid burning at the bottom.

4.Boil till it becomes thick consistency, similar to honey.



5.cool well and store in bottle.
