Dates are one of the oldest cultivated fruits and were enjoyed by the Babylonians some 8,000 years ago, their rich flavor pairs well with caramel, coffee, honey and warming spices like nutmeg and cinnamon.
Below is a good base recipe for date butter but feel free to customize and make it your own. You can play around with the aromatics, using different spices, a splash of vanilla or you can add a squeeze of lemon or orange for a hint of citrus. You can also add flavors at the stage where you soak your dates, you could add some Earl Grey tea bags to the water or some spiced rum.
