Homemade date paste

Overview

It is healthier to make jujube paste by yourself. Xinjiang Xidahuang red dates are very sweet. When used to make jujube paste, it is very sweet without adding sugar. This is the natural sweetness of hanging from trees until they are mature. I wanted to make more and save it for mooncake fillings, but I didn’t expect that I would use up the cold cake in one go.
