Date Syrup (Iraq)
(12 servings) Printable Version
- 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
How To Make Date Syrup
In a medium saucepan, bring water and dates to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Add vanilla and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Allow mixture to cool to room temperature. Place mixture in a blender with the cinnamon. Pulse until smooth and completely blended. If needed, add additional water a teaspoon at a time to get desired consistency.
Store in a sealed container in your refrigerator. Warm the syrup before using.
In Iraq, date syrup is enjoyed for breakfast on bread with heavy cream. But this syrup is also a great replacement for traditional maple syrup for pancakes and waffles.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank Bennett for this recipe.

Came out more like a spread than a syrup, which was great on toast with some cream cheese. What would I add to make it more syrup-like. Just more water?

Here is one of the best date syrups out there - www.organicsareforeveryone.com and they usually have free shipping deals. It's hard to get that same consistency making your own, I know from experience!

Thank you for the recipe, I have not been able to find the old Iraqi syrup anywhere in NY, it is great mixed with tuhini.

A friend of mine on Long Island can't get it there, so he buys it when he comes to Montreal... by the case. Ironically here in Sudbury, Ontario, I can't find it... maybe I'll try this recipe, I'm curious to see what the hoop-la is all about :)

Actually debs is a Lebanese carob molasses traditionally mixed with tahini to form a paste and eaten with bread.

I have a jar bought by my mother from ASDA but I don't know what to do with it. Can I use it in recipes using Maple or Corn Syrup or is it just for pouring?
