Method

  1. Soak the dates in warm water to soften them.

  2. Cook the dates with the water over a low heat until completely soft.

  3. Mash or press the cooked dates to extract the concentrated liquid, removing the remaining fibres and bits.

  4. Boil the liquid until it thickens to a molasses consistency, then store in an airtight container.
