GINGER - DATE SQUARES



Ginger - Date Squares image

There is a great deal of controversy in my family about these squares. They are called "Alethea's Squares" since the recipe originated with my great-aunt Alethea, a fabulous cook. However, there are at least two versions in circulation, and they are quite different. This one is my favourite: a nice rich cake studded with fruit, ginger and nuts, topped with butterscoth icing. Mm! Mm! It wouldn't be Christmas without them.

RAW NUT BUTTER

Recipe for DIY chocolate-hazelnut spread, raw peanut butter, alternative nut butter, pistachio spread

Provided by Guy Turland

Categories     HarperCollins     Nut     Raw     Chocolate     Hazelnut     Almond     Pistachio     Cashew     Condiment/Spread     Peanut Butter

Yield Makes 1-2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

2-3 cups nuts of your choice, such as peanuts, hazelnuts, almonds, pistachios or cashews
1 teaspoon raw cacao (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the nuts in a food processor and process for 20-30 minutes, stopping and scraping down the side as needed every 5 minutes. This takes more time than you'd expect, so be patient! It's ready when the oils have released from the nuts and the consistency is like smooth butter.
  • Stir in the raw cacao to make a delicious chocolate spread.
  • Transfer to a glass jar, seal, and store in the fridge.

Tips:

  • Choose the ripest dates possible. This will ensure that they are soft and sticky, which will make them easier to blend.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the dates and ginger by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely, so that they will blend smoothly.
  • If you want a creamier nut butter, add more oil. You can also add other ingredients, such as honey, vanilla extract, or cinnamon, to taste.
  • Store the nut butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to two weeks.
  • Use the nut butter as a spread on toast or crackers, or add it to smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt. You can also use it as a glaze for roasted vegetables or chicken.

Conclusion:

Raw date and ginger nut butter is a delicious and healthy spread that is easy to make at home. It is a good source of fiber, potassium, and antioxidants. It is also a good alternative to traditional nut butters, which are often high in saturated fat and sugar.
