Date Honey

About 1 cup
LeahLeah

Some scholars say that the honey in the “land of milk and honey” - actually refers to date honey instead of bee honey. Either way, here’s a delicious (vegan) alternative for Rosh Hashanah dipping!

ingredients

  • 8 Medjool dates (not Delget)
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon, remove the seeds
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 4 pieces crystallized ginger, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Agave nectar

directions

  • 1

    Remove the pit from the dates and quarter them. Mash the dates with a fork into a paste-like consistency. Add the date mash to a small sauce pan.

  • 2

    Add the lemon juice and 1/4 cup of water and heat over a low flame, stirring frequently with a whisk or wooden spoon (about 3 minutes).

  • 3

    After the water is absorbed, add the remaining water, agave syrup and crystallized ginger. The mash should take on a slightly more liquid quality, like apple butter.

  • 4

    Continue stirring, adding small amounts of additional water and Agave syrup as necessary until you reach the taste and consistency you like.

  • 5

    Let cool and serve with slices of Ginger Gold, Honey Crisp apples (or any apple you like).
