    INGREDIENTS for the Berta Jay's
    Date Paste
    ---------------------------------------------------------
    1 cup pitted and pressed dates (I use medjool dates)
    ½ cup hot water
    OR
    2 cups dates
    1 cup hot water
    1. Pour the water over the dates and set aside for about 10-30 minutes.
    2. Then, pour the softened dates with the water into a blender.
    3. Blenderize for 1 minute or longer until completely smooth.
    4. That's it...
    5. Use as a sugar substitute.

    This is the best recipe on CZcams for this, because the other recipes tell you to add too much water which dilutes the flavor, nutrients and sugar if you don't use all the water. This one adds just enough water so you retain the sugar, flavor and some of the nutrients. I just recommend soaking over night in room temp or hot water, instead of using boiling water if you don't want to lose more nutrients.

    Date paste is a great sugar substitute. I like to make a batch and place the paste in an ice cube tray and freeze it. After it's frozen, I remove the cubes from the tray and place the cubes in a plastic freezer bag. When I want to use the date paste, I remove the desired number of cubes from the freezer and either defrost in the microwave or let it sit on the counter to defrost.

Using the date paste as a sugar substitute, we've enjoyed making a new (to us) recipe of Date Cookies and Peanut Butter Cookies that we've been able also share with neighbors as well. Everyone gives this a big thumbs up! Thank you for suggesting this healthy alternative and thank you and Evan for another video!!

    Thank you for showing that you don't have to boil dates in water. I believe that kills or at least decreases their nutritional value. Just soak in warm water and I like to add a little coconut oil (optional) in the blender. It gives them an additional wonderful taste. You can order dates in bulk and really save a lot of money while adding a nutritional powerhouse to you diet.

    Until now my only experience with dates was the date nut bread my Mom used to make. And that was generally only at Christmas. But now??? Well, I just might have to get me some dates sometime soon! Because this looks delicious & very versatile. Also a question, Berta - when you use the date paste as a sugar substitute, do you use the same amount? IOW, if the recipe calls for 1/2 cup sugar, do you use a 1/2 cup of date paste? Thanks & see you next week. Take care, be safe & well! ❤️🥕❤️

    • @bertajay
      @bertajay  Před 4 lety +3

      Good question, Jane. I usually do the 1-for-1 but sometimes I have to add a little more date paste. So my answer would be to start at 1-for-1 and then increase to your taste. Does that help?❤️

    Thanks again Berta for another wonderful tip! If I'm making muffins or something like that, how much date paste should I use in place of sugar (if recipe calls for 1 C sugar)? I can see how this would add wonderful flavor and moist texture to baking.

    • @bertajay
      @bertajay  Před 4 lety +2

      I would use about 2/3 cup with the liquid ingredients. That should work. Taste the batter to be sure it is sweet enough for you; if not, add to your desired sweetness. Let me know if this helps you.❤️
