In winter fruit sometimes does not have the sweetness that it does in summer months. Not wanting to add sugar to my fruit salad, I had an idea. I pureed up 3 stoned dates with some water. This time, i replaced the water with freshly squeezed orange juice. Fab - a sweet orsnge syrup without white sugar if you made it with water, You could add vanilla for a vanilla sugar taste but I am all vanilla'd out with the sweet potato I made. (see previous post)
I did this in my vita mix but I bet you could do it with a hand blender, or food processor.
It made the perfect syrup for my fruit salad.
You could add a pinch of cinnamon too which might be a nice addition for s winter friit salad.
Just been given fresh dates and got oranges on the tree. Going to give this a whirl, sounds good.
