THE RUNDOWN

This recipe comes in very handy when you are on the challenge.  It goes well on toast or pancakes, in dressings/sauces, and can be added to dishes to provide a little sweetness. Basically, use in place of maple syrup or honey. Combine a spoonful of date syrup and peanut butter for an after dinner treat.
