The Homemade Delicious Red Date Paste

The red date is very rich in nutrition. It has a lot of calories and can replace grain. In history, it is often used for disaster relief. People praise red date as a “natural vitamin pill”. Dry red jujube can produce 1200-1300 kilojoules of heat per hectare, which is close to raisin, and the content of protein, calcium, phosphorus, riboflavin and niacin is higher than raisin. Therefore, red dates have always been regarded as an excellent tonic. The red date is made into paste, which tastes good and can be eaten directly. It can also be used as stuffing for bread, bun, etc. Make more at one time, and keep it frozen and in separate bags for a long time.

How To Make The Homemade Delicious Red Date Paste

Step 1

Wash the extra large dried dates

Step 2

Put it in the pot. It’s about an inch before the water passes the date

Step 3

First using the big fire, then turn to the small fire to cook slowly, about 40 or 50 minutes, turn the dates in the middle, and the action should be light, especially in the later stage. I did it three times

Step 4

Cook the date soft and thoroughly, about half of the red dates. Then turn off the fire and let stand for a few hours. I sat still for a night, turning over again in the middle to let the date absorb enough water. Finally, the water will be much less than in the picture.

Step 5

After the first few steps finished, this step is very convenient. The skin can be torn off with a little tear. The meat is still intact. Then push both ends down, and the core can be easily removed

Step 6

Peeled and cored the red date meat, together with boiled jujube water, is poured into a non stick pot. Stir fry with a spoon while pressing, and then dry. Even if you eat it directly, it’s delicious!
