Making Natural Sugar Syrup from Dates

Instead of using sugar, agave syrup (which is just like high fructose syrup), or artificial sweeteners you can use date syrup or buy date paste. Making date syrup is fast and easy.
Buy 1 large container of non pitted dates (costco sells them), fill the tub of dates with water up just below the brim and let them sit overnight. In the morning you will notice the water will be a thick syrup. Pour syrup into a container or gravy pourer. Add to anything you want sweetened and use as a sugar replacement. Ie- coffee, oatmeal, shakes, iced tea, etc
Afterwards refrigerate both the syrup and the dates. The leftover dates can be put in the food processor to make a sweetener paste or added to shakes for a sweeter taste.
