ruit Paste.

I am using dates for most of my fruit pastes but you can use other dried fruit too. The samples below are dates and apricots. The dates are already very sweet but to add some sweetness to the apricots you can try adding cinnamon or vanilla bean.

Ingredients

0.5 cups dates dried
1 cup water
2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

Soak the dried fruit in water for 1 or 2 hours (or overnight).
Drain the soaked fruit (don't throw away the soaking water - this can be used to get the blending going!).
Add the soaked dates to a high speed blender and add enough soaking water to create a smooth paste.
Transfer paste into a glass jar and place in the fridge where it will keep for about 3 weeks. Alternatively, it can be frozen for several months.

Notes

For different flavor profile you can add spices like cinnamon, vanilla, a pinch of sea salt or some fresh lemon juice. You can make the date paste in advance because it will store in the freezer and not freeze solid so you can easily take a scoop and use it in any of your dressings or dishes. This will work for date paste because of the high fiber in dates.
