*Dates: It's important to use soft, moist dates. If your dates are overly dry, soak them pitted in hot water for 15 minutes then drain well before using in the recipe.
Storing: Keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 10 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Okay at room temperature for a few days if kept cool and dry.
