Here’s a for how to make the perfect dates.

Ingredients:

– 1 cup Medjool dates
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons heavy cream
– Pinch of salt
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Begin by removing the pits from the dates. Be careful not to cut all the way through, as you want to keep them intact.

6. Bake the dates in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes. The sugar mixture should be bubbling and the dates should be slightly softened.

7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle a little bit of vanilla extract over the top of the dates.

8. Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue baking for an additional 3-4 minutes. The sugar should be golden brown and the dates should be caramelized.

9. Remove the dates from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

These caramelized dates can be served hot or cold and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They are also a great option for entertaining, as they are simple to prepare and can be dressed up with a variety of toppings.
