Together with cherished family time on Thanksgiving and the giggling kiddos running around on Halloween, it’s hard to not find joy in the Autumn Season. But what makes it even better is the consistency and love we find in the comfort foods. Pumpkin, apple, butternut squash and pecans always top our list of what to eat and what to prepare. But there is one incredible little piece of comfort foot that often gets overlooked. The date.
While not on everyone’s must-have list, but growing in popularity – dates are incredibly tasty while being extremely versatile. Perfect when ground up and included in granola bars and stuffed a million different ways, dates can easily become someone’s favorite comfort food.
Our Northwestern Extract date extract features a real date taste and is a uniquely perfect addition to sweet or savory dishes. Replace the vanilla in any recipe to add a sweet touch of date. We recommend trying it also in cakes, muffins, pies, cream cheese frostings, mousse and even pie fillings for a subtle addition.
Our date extract pairs perfectly with cherry, blueberry, strawberry and cheesecake. We even love using it in sweet salad dressings, in oatmeal, and in pastes for charcuterie boards. Give us a call or fill out a flavor request to start something new today.
