Soak the Dates: Place the pitted dates in a bowl and pour hot water over them, enough to fully cover the dates. Let them soak for about 10-15 minutes. This softens the dates and makes them easier to blend, resulting in a smoother paste.
Blend the Mixture: Drain the dates, reserving the soaking water. Transfer the dates to your blender or food processor. Add a few tablespoons of the reserved water and start blending. Gradually add more water as needed to reach your desired consistency. You want a thick, smooth paste that's easily spreadable but not too watery.
Store and Use: Once blended, transfer the date paste to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
