I saw the way the caramel was made on one of Guy’s Grocery game shows and had to re-watch this segment again and again, but in the long run it paid off.
We now can make caramel from nuts and dates! It took a few times but we now have it down. Now cooking! no sugar!

- Drop the dates in one at a time with the food processor is at full speed
