Does it HAVE to be refrigerated? I normally refrigerate but the last time I made a PB & Date Paste sandwich (with sliced banana), I accidentally stored it back in the pantry instead of the fridge. You think it’s still ok? I mean, it’s basically still just dates, which are fine in the pantry. Thanks.
Not a knowledgeable person here but that sounds a little risky. I once mixed water into a jar of almond butter to loosen up the solid at the bottom, left in the pantry, next day gray fuzzy mold inside yuck
How much date paste does this recipe make? I am going to make your pumpkin pie.
Thank you,
Jennifer
About 3 and a half cups or 690 grams.
Do you use 1c of water and 1 cup juice and 1 cup vegan milk OR is it just 1 c of any one of those? to the dates??
Just 1 cup of liquid total.
How long is this okay to keep in the fridge once the dates are blended with the water?
I freeze my date paste (separately by the tablespoon) for easy and convenient use.
I am your new biggest fan! Your personality and humor is infectious. Your recipes are delicious, and this way of eating has changed my life. Ty
Probably a thinner watered-down version. Best to check the label for ingredients but probably the same. I would guess the syrup has less fiber (possibly filtered).
I purchased date syrup from Marshalls… Is this the same as the paste?
