About

The date butter is amazing in taste and it can be made really easy.This is one of my favorite recipes.If you want something different,try to make it with raisins or plums.It will be also really delicious and sweet.You can also try a mix of dates and almonds or hazelnuts.For the best taste,spread this butter on a slice of toasted whole wheat bread or use it to make homemade cookies and biscuits or just use it for making other desserts.You can do anything with it.Enjoy and have a good time!
