You may have already heard about this but it was news to me. Dates = sweetener. Okay, I'll give it a try.
I have yet to try it as I just made it tonight but there will definitely be follow-up posts with reviews! First up may be trying it in my coffee!
It can be used in place of maple or honey in a recipe or as a topping. The one thing that may take some experimenting is the amount to use. I read it's pretty equal for maple syrup or honey but I'm not sure about regular sugar or other sweeteners. Time will tell!

Recipe below:
DATE SYRUP
8-9 medjool dates
1 1/4 cups filtered water
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
Place the dates in a small bowl; cover with warm water and let sit for 30 minutes. Once the dates have soaked, drain the water then add all of ingredients to the wet container of a high speed blender, such as a Vitamix. Blend for 45-60 seconds, or until smooth. Transfer to an air tight container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Yield: 1 1/3 cups
