Date Caramel Recipe

Ingredients

Steps

1. Soak the dates in the hot water in a bowl for 5 minutes until soft. The dates should yield easily when pressed with a finger.
2. Transfer the dates and soaking water to a high speed blender. Add the vanilla extract and salt.
3. Blend on high speed for 60 to 90 seconds until completely smooth. Stop halfway to scrape down the sides. The caramel should drizzle from a spoon with no visible date skin or grainy bits.
4. Transfer the date caramel to an airtight jar. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
