Glutinous Rice and Dates

Glutinous Rice and Dates

Overview

Glutinous rice and dates are sweet, soft and glutinous, very delicious. In fact, this little snack can also be called a very vivid name with a smile on your face and a soft heart. I don’t have osmanthus candy at home, so I poured some sesame candy on it. In fact, when making glutinous rice dates, it is best to use jujubes that are large, meaty and sweet. Xinjiang Ruoqiang's high-quality red dates have plump fruits, thick and delicate flesh, thin skin and small core. They are sweet and mellow, delicate and refreshing, and the flesh is soft and sweet. Perfect for making this little dessert.
