A couple of tips from the MoM CookClub Team when making this Sticky Date Pudding Recipe …
When selecting dates for cooking (or eating), Bonappetit.com says …
“You want to make sure you buy dates that aren’t overly dried. The date skin should be a little translucent, with minimal rips and tears. The dates should be intact and separate, not mashed into a clump, and they should have a nice shine. There are a few different varieties of dates. Some may just be labeled “Dates,” while other have names like Dayri, Barhi, or Medjool. We’re big fans of Medjool dates, which are bigger and softer than your average date.”
We agree with all of that. We also know that Medjool dates can be quite a lot more expensive than other packaged dates. So we save these fresh dates for cheese platters or if we have a recipe that calls for soft, fresh date flesh on top as a garnish or feature fruit. For cooking or blending or protein ball recipes like these Salted Date Caramels, feel free to go with a dried date. You still want to aim for quality so where possible, choose organic dates if they are available.
