Strawberry-Date Syrup


  • Prep Time: 20 mins
  • Total Time: 20 mins
  • Yield: 4 (makes about 2 cups) 1x
Scale

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups water
  • 4 ounces pitted dates (7 to 8 Medjool or 14 to 16 Deglet Noor), chopped
  • ½ cup sliced strawberries

Instructions

  1. Place the water, dates, and strawberries into a blender, and set aside for at least 15 minutes (so the dates can soften).
  2. Blend until a smooth, pourable consistency is reached (add more water, as needed, to thin, but the syrup will thicken as it sits). Serve over pancakes and waffles.

Notes

Instead of water, you may also use fruit juice (or a mixture); I love fresh tangerine juice in this syrup.

Instead of strawberries, try raspberries, blueberries, kiwifruit, peaches, and mango.

Use any leftover syrup on fruit or oatmeal.
