I Learnt to Make Date Syrup on YouTube Then I Went and Did This Instead!

So I set out to make Date Syrup after watching a recipe from @remremdfoodie linked here • I STOPPED TAKING SUGAR...
However, Epileptic Power Supply happened and I had to find other means because, "when life gives you lemons..." right?
Find out how I made the perfect date syrup at home using a mortar and pestle and if you find this video useful, please like, comment, share and if you haven't already, please subscribe to my channel. I promise it'll be worth your while😁

[@calistusnonoso7109]

Wow! This is like the best and "syrupy" date syrup I've ever seen

[@DooshimaDanladi]

😄 Thank you! You're too kind.

[@remremdfoodie]

Well done! Using a mortar is a smart move. I tell people I tell people that there’s almost nothing a blender can do that a mortar can’t do.

[@DooshimaDanladi]

And to think I only thought of that when the blender option failed.

[@mortalengine2934]

"because Ah! we cannot allow this date to waste"😂😂😂 spoken like a true Nigerian

I’m really enjoying the syrup. Bravo!!!

[@DooshimaDanladi]

Me too!!

[@chinyeremvivian4842]

I have actually watched a good amount of videos for date syrup making here on KZbin, I must say, yours is the best.

Great! 🤗 Thank you, Greatest Abusite.

[@remremdfoodie]

I absolutely love the consistency, the colour❤

[@DooshimaDanladi]

Me toooo. But I can't help feeling the quantity could've been more. I believe 1 Derica (as you stated you used in your video) is half a mudu, yet I was only able to get this much. What do you think went wrong?

[@remremdfoodie]

@@DooshimaDanladi yes. One derica is about half a mudu. You know the quantity reduces as it gets thicker. With your thick syrup, you'll only need a little to get effect.

[@DooshimaDanladi]

@@remremdfoodie thank you so much

[@EbiereinDebewari]

Lovely I will try it

[@DooshimaDanladi]

Thank you! I'm sure you'll enjoy it

[@remremdfoodie]

Besides, soaked dates get so soft you could easily mash them with your hands. So the mortar will definitely do a good job.

[@DooshimaDanladi]

Very true!

Amazing. Please how long do you store it? With refrigerator or without?

[@DooshimaDanladi]

Thank you😊 I take mine straight to the fridge after it's cooled and for the entire 6weeks - 2 months that it lasts, it doesn't go bad. Without refrigerating, it can probably last a couple of weeks max because mine has survived over 3 days without power supply.

😊Awww, thank you Great Abusite! If stored in a refrigerator, it can last well over two months. But if not, only a couple of weeks/days.

Well done jor. I soaked my own yesterday to make for my baby. Will blend sieve and cook today. What did u do with your paste/chaff?

[@DooshimaDanladi]

Thank you... No, it doesn't need a preservative. It can survive at least two months if kept refrigerated.

[@blessingagbasonye8269]

I did like to try it out. How is it preserved?

[@DooshimaDanladi]

OK, Blessing. I think you should. It can be preserved refrigerated for about 2 months.

[@blessingagbasonye8269]

@@DooshimaDanladi And when there is no light?

[@DooshimaDanladi]

It will survive if the power outage only lasts a couple of days. Mine has.

[@fayanisxm4739]

My question mam (wonderful video by the way) so when the water evaporates that means it’s technically doesn’t need a preservative hein? How long will it last in the jar?

[@DooshimaDanladi]

Thank you. Well, it'll go bad after a couple of days without a preservative. But since I don't use a preservative, I just store in the fridge and that increases the shelf life to well over two months.

[@chinlatabafaraschenshak5799]

Thanks for sharing,pls how do i preserve it for a long time?

[@DooshimaDanladi]

You're welcome. Just keep refrigerated (not freezer). It'll remain fresh for about 2 months.

How long can it last in that container

[@DooshimaDanladi]

It depends on how often you use it. It lasts my family of 4 a little over one month.

[@dazzlingqueenfrances1214]

Omo for me its coal pot ooo. Gas is to precious this time to use for this long hours...

Hi, Idara. Fridge, please. As long as there's light, it's fine.

[@elizabethmatthew8402]

Waoooooo! I was like where is light to blend thanks a lot. My question did you cook it on fire?

[@DooshimaDanladi]

It must be preserved in the fridge, please.

3 to 4 hours of boiling omoh as gas cost today ?

[@DooshimaDanladi]

Use whatever you have, as long as it's boiled down/thickened.

[@user-vd6pm5ic7v]

Please did you use the seeds or the chaff

[@DooshimaDanladi]

No, I didn't. They're no longer useful for making the syrup.

How long can it be preserve

[@DooshimaDanladi]

If kept refrigerated, it can last 2-3 months

[@thefathersheart1725]

How do I preserve it for commercial purpose

[@DooshimaDanladi]

I don't make this commercially, but I suppose you'd have to use a preservative then.

[@mimihembaigbogo7603]

This was really inspiring insightful. What's the quantity of dates I'd need to get this amount of syrup?

[@DooshimaDanladi]

Thank you, Mimi🤗 I used 1 mudu which cost about N1,400

[@sugarchidinma3189]

Does it spoil like this ?

Definitely. You'd have to preserve it in the fridge.

Ok! Thank you. I will make another one.

Like how many days will it stay before it spoil

[@DooshimaDanladi]

Experience from others says when refrigerated, it can last 2 months.

[@peacenwanneka7247]

Please why is my own syrup so thick ? Mine doesn't give me this your color. The more I cook, the thick it gets

[@DooshimaDanladi]

Yes, the more you cook, the thicker it'll get because the water is drying up. Plus, it thickens after cooling, so you don't want to let it get too thick while cooking. Also, dates have varying degrees of brownness so naturally, your syrup will take on the colour of the dates you used. It's fine still.

[@chicago3597]

Don’t use plastic

[@DooshimaDanladi]

Okay

[@eziorahanncelin3029]

Can a 6 months baby take date ? Can I put it in his pap?
