Ingredients
- ยฝ lb Pitted dates ((230g) any dates will work)
Method
- Place the pitted dates in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
- Place each date on a chopping board, using a paring knife, chop the dates in half lengthways .
- Then chop each half into thin strips (this is very important).
- Preheat the air fryer.
- Place the thin strips of dates into the air fryer basket being careful (you may need to do this in batches).not to overcrowd.
- Roast the dates at 180C/356F until semi solid (I roasted mine for exactly 6 minutes).
- Leave the dates to completely cool down and become solid. To speed this process up I recommend putting them in the freezer, checking periodically until solid.
- Once the dates are solid, inspect them with your fingers, they should snap in half and NOT be soft at all.
- Place a small amount of solid dates in a spice/coffee grinder (2-3 tbsp at a time).
- Pulverize the dates by stopping and starting the grinder to make a ground/fine consistency and repeat the above step with the rest of the dates (being sure to work in very small batches at a time).
- .Store the date sugar in an air tight mason jar in a cool place.
