Date Paste (Easy!)

[@errorerror1337]

Since the dates are usually irregular shape, I usually add 1 cup of water to the blender first, then pit and add the dates to the blender until the water gets up to the 2 cup mark. Simple!

You are always so adorable and genuine! I’m so happy you’re in my KZbin family. Your enthusiasm for plant based eating is such an encouragement to someone who lives in a world surrounded by people who think I’m nuts for eating this way. This recipe is a staple in our house too. I love that I don’t have to be addicted to sugar anymore, but I can still enjoy some sweetness when I want. Also, love the surprise at the end!! Thank you for making my morning better with puppy cuteness!

[@doris3594]

Christy, your comment about you being "someone who lives in a world surrounded by people who think I'm nuts for eating this way" resonates with me and I'm sure there are thousands of us who feel just as you do. Thank goodness we have platforms like these where we can all be in good company where we believe and live the same way.

I was taught to cut up the dates and boil them in water - because high-speed blenders were not a thing in the kitchen when I was taught cooking. I use it in my "Christmas" cake which is a Rose Elliot "Everything-less Fruit Cake" - which though Rose Elliot's classic book is vegetarian is a vegan recipe I have cooked for over thirty years and it comes up trumps every time.

I’m having a Jaroudi Family weekend. Date paste in the fridge. Japanese sweet potatoes in the oven. Getting set to make your lemon bars later today. And I have my ingredients ready to make your lentil soup tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your recipes and enthusiasm!

[@blee309]

Love that you keep things simple!!! Thanks! Have the cookbook but just haven't tried this one!

[@flyfly2850]

I just recently discovered your channel I'm taking all the best recipes from it...this is one of them!

[@flowgood123]

You are very inspiring. Thanks for making these how to videos.and I bought the book.😊

[@emiliejoshi]

I just made this recipe. The date past smells amazing like caramel! I am using it for your chickpea blondies recipe! Thank you so much for all of the amazing ways that you help us eat yummy and healthy WFPB food!

[@myqtpie44]

I have the 'How Not To Die' Cookbook. I recently purchased date paste online and will have to try this recipe once what I bought is gone. Thanks for the including your dogs at the end, they are adorable.

[@rosemariecowit5720]

Wish I could attend the dinner. Wish Pittsburgh was closer. And love the puppies!

[@ctn4646]

They are so cute!!! Thanks for the recipe!

[@macbus3]

I've been buying my dates and dried figs from Costco. Do you know how sweet figs are? Well I didn't, I grew up in IN and I don't remember anyone having fig trees. Anyway, I put 1:1 ratio of figs and dates. That usually amounts to 8-10:8-10. I pour hot water over them and when I remember about them... I throw them in the Vitamix with the water I used. I add a little at a time. I don't want them runny, but I eat the Vitamix to run too. You know this makes a real good spread as well. I use this whenever I need to sweeten something up. I've put it in spaghetti sauce... You know... Whenever something calls for a sweetening agent. So good.

[@chandelie4]

I use Costco figs too in a 1 to 3 ratio with their deglet noor dates, plus a small lemon wedge. So delicious!

[@garrygarry3371]

Thanks for all of your videos from the how not to die cook book they have helped me out lots. All the way from England.

[@luzvelazquez3373]

Adding the lemon blend to the recipe is a game changer 😋 Thanks 🙏🏼

[@mj6866]

I want to switch to using dates as my sweetener. Thanks so much for this video.

[@janegoodfellow1529]

Superb. Thank you. You are very watchable and a great exponent of wfpb eating!

[@marionlacey1986]

Love this so simple recipe. Thanks Brittany PS puppies are gorgeous!

[@cindystrother7710]

Awesome thank you so much for sharing Brittany

[@ruthvanderhelm3739]

Super easy and great to have on hand!

[@christinenason9477]

Thank you so much...simple...great. Will be making tomorrow. LOVE. the puppies...so cute

[@heidikunin9448]

called all around for date sugar and date paste...off to buy some organic dates to make my own. Thanks!!

[@susandemetropoulos8597]

Thank you for all your recipes

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Awesome, we will have to try this out! Also, love your dogs and we can totally relate to trying to film with two crazy pups around. Last week we resorted to taking Oliver to doggie daycare on one of the days we filmed LOL. I love how the one on the left is like "let me down!" and the one on the right is chill. Ours have totally opposite personalities, but they are both lucky they are cute. :)

[@marcrapanault3129]

Enjoy all your videos. I saw this the other day in the book and wanted to try it. Thanks for showing how easy it is!

[@TimothyOBrien1958]

Why the hot water? Oh, and did you ever think about using coconut water? It would enhance the sweetness.

[@reddaisy2513]

Wait.. I am confused. The link you posted takes you to a "Date Syrup" recipe. I thought "Date paste" and "Date syrup" were different things.

[@wandaweber3123]

Thanks I will try this

[@sandrasinclair01]

Hi, thanks for the recipe , a good time saver. I like your glasses!!

[@LAKSHMIANGELES]

GORGEOUS DOGGIES! THNX FOR SUGGESTING THE DIFFERENT WAYS OF MAKING THIS. I HAVE DR GREGER'S BOOKS AS WELL, BUT I ALSO LIKE TO VARY RECIPES AROUND. I PUT CARDAMOM & GINGER IN MINE & COCONUT WATER ALONG W/ SOME SQUEEZED LEMON JUICE INSTEAD OF REGULAR WATER. YUMMY! BLESSINGS ✌💚 PS I USED IT IN YOUR CRANBERRY SAUCE & IT MADE IT SPECIAL... GOURMET SAUCE😊 THNX AGAIN!

[@sfgkimroman]

LOL my dogs ALWAYS make noise when I'm filming or teaching a class in my house. :)

[@terrygrenald8414]

I love the date syrup idea. I just bumped into your channel and I love it. Simple recipes. I have date paste can I use that to make the date syrup??

[@roger12393]

If a recipe calls for white sugar and brown sugar how would you know how much sugar to use? Do you just replace the white sugar or both? ex: chocolate chip cookies,

[@Freds_mom]

Love your new glasses, so cute on you! 😍

[@kathystoner5239]

Wish I was in your area to do the dinner!

[@sfzombie2473]

TY

[@ARockinVegan]

I need to make this!

[@mickcharlesbeaver4331]

When you measure your cup of pitted dates, how tightly packed are they in your measuring cup? Thanks!

[@TheJaroudiFamily]

Not pushing them down just placing them in the cup.

[@marysusa6985]

Do you have any idea what the ratio of date paste is to date syrup? I usually have that on hand and would want to use if possible rather than making the paste. thx

[@adrianapilonieta9520]

Thank you so very much! So funny,I was looking around, getting nervous, because my dog was next to me and I was wondering what was scratching outside my room,😳

[@grishaphillips8012]

I just made the date/syrup for inr coffe

[@grishaphillips8012]

The finished product is very watery, will it thicken? Thank you

[@off-gridhomesteaders702]

Is this considered date syrup or paste, or both? Some of your recipes call for paste and I want to make sure that I am using the right ingredients. Ty

[@TheJaroudiFamily]

Off-Grid Homesteaders this is more of a paste however he calls it a syrup in the book. I like to think paste is homemade and syrup is more what you find in the stores

[@phylliscable63]

Look at you in your spiffy new eyeglasses! Very nice. 🙂

[@jackiespano5530]

Would a regular blender that isn't overly strong handle the processing? I think mine might be like yours but not sure

[@barbararobinson4698]

I found the best Chocolate Peanut-butter Cup Recipe, May I use date paste instead of 16 Medjule dates.? If so how much?

[@lindagoode1251]

Love it! And your dogs are so cute!! What are their names?

[@TheJaroudiFamily]

Neville (the brown little guy) and Ellie (the white & brown girl)

[@marshaberland2248]

is date syrup the same as date paste

[@amazingBritneyLive]

Hello! Can u advice how many dates did u use, i only used 6 dates 😂 so it would be nice to know how much u did. Thanks

[@fbs1917]

Medjools are generally larger than Deglet Noor dates. 2 sizes. Medjool seem to be more soft.

[@dianawebber1333]

can you add cinnamon to it and lemon peel when it is done

[@TheJaroudiFamily]

Totally!

[@vldarden]

How long would it keep?

[@AWanderingEye]

If you want to sub this for sugar is 1 tsp of date paste/syrup = 1 tsp sugar?

[@laurenbendik2006]

how long does the date paste stay good?

[@marandjoe]

I would like to know this as well.

[@jeristowell2635]

What is the shelve life? I assume you keep it in the fridge.

[@chandelie4]

I freeze mine in ice cube trays. It defrosts quickly too.

[@alisonjane5364]

This is date puree not date syrup.

[@michellelewis3856]

Every time I make this it comes out liquid, never a paste. Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong? How long do you blend and at what speed? Thank you

[@TheJaroudiFamily]

I'm guessing you are using to much water - I would add a little at a time to get the consistency you are looking for.

[@deborahgray2255]

How long will this last in the fridge

[@southernbellesbows]

The date paste link is broke :-)

[@laurenbendik2006]

So if a recipe says 1 tbspn sugar, u would put 1 tbspn of this?

[@kombinatsiya6000]

you always look so adorable in the thumbnails 😆

[@lazeanddaze]

What cookbook is it from? I couldn’t hear what you said.

[@carlabakelaar8912]

How Not to Die. page 2

[@Canadiangal1970]

Do u have a video on how to make the Blended Lemon Peel ?

[@chandelie4]

I use a small lemon wedge. Comes out great!

[@monikas4656]

Why you not show how look the consistency on spoon, any pieces or it is smooth, spreadable? . Thank you for quick, easy recipe.

[@kimhubbs1104]

Can you do a video on things you use it on/in? Can it replace maple syrup for pancakes?

[@LAKSHMIANGELES]

YES IT CAN & IT'S DELICIOUS. AND HEALTHIER BEC IT'S LESS PROCESSED.✌💚

[@valeriehofmann2615]

Have you figured grams of sugar vs white sugar?

[@6122ula]

...Syrup should be syrupy...that looks like jam !

[@donnaflaherty9660]

It's actually date paste.

[@forgettablegirl]

Be aware guys, boiling water can cause a blender canister to break and basically explode.

[@loves2spin2]

Who gets to lick out the blender container? ;)

[@alecialawson6626]

Oh no, this is date paste not syrup??

[@bsdgffishtuna5186]

but it looks like poop.
