Try date paste instead of sugar in you next recipe. It's full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber none of which you will find in sugar. It taste mildly of caramel and can be mixed in easily into sauces, marinades, dressings and so much more. Dates are also low on the glycemic index.

How To Make Date Paste:
Ingredients:
2 cups pitted dates
enough water to cover the dates in a saucepan.

Directions:
Place the dates in a saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch. Place on stove and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes.

Pour the dates through a strainer to cool. Keep the liquid.  Once cool place the dates in a blender, preferably a vitamix. Add 1/2 cup of liquid and blend slowly. Add just enough of the date water to blend. You want the date paste to have the consistency of applesauce. 

Pour into a mason jar and cool before placing in the refrigerator. Will keep 2 to 3 weeks in the fridge and longer in the freezer.

You can enjoy date paste in anything pretty much that calls for a sweetener. The substitution ratio is 1:1 for sugar. 

Simple uses: on toast instead of jelly, in a smoothie, in yogurt, on ice cream, mixed into breakfast oatmeal, to name just a few. Leave your ideas down below in the comments.
