Guest guest Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Great ideas on the toppings. Couple additional thoughts... 1. If you use a high-end blender such as a Vita-Mix, run it until the portion of the jar touched by the food begins to feel barely warm. Then you'll have warm caramel sauce, yet still raw. 2. Carmelita dates have a caramel taste, as the name suggests. They're gooooooood! 3. There is no such thing as a " golden raisin. " These are merely raisins to which sulfur is applied as a preservative. Best to all, Elchanan Valerie Mills Daly [valdaly] Saturday, April 09, 2005 1:36 PM rawfood Re: [Raw Food] Looking for a Mock Caramel sauce A friend of mine made a sauce once with blended dates, golden raisins and water, and I believe she added some kind of spice (cinnamon or something like it). Cinnamon, of course, is not recommended, but the blended fruits with water made a nice thick topping. She also used it as a fruit dip for apples and pears. (I think it was about 1/2 dates and 1/2 raisins, and enough water for your desired thickness) -- ---------------------[ Ciphire Signature ]---------------------- vlinfo signed email body (897 characters) on 09 April 2005 at 22:02:48 UTC rawfood ------------------------------- : Ciphire has secured this email against identity theft. : Free download at www.ciphire.com.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 I always thought golden raisins were dried yellow-green grapes. I had no idea! Thanks for the info...

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Yummy! kaculwell [kaculwell] My 11 yr old dd made this recipe and we used it like a apple caramel dip. Food process or hand mash fresh dates (if not fresh, soak). She added a squirt of lemon or lime. If you added more liquid you could possibly make it more runny.

The stuff sold in stores is not even remotely what I'd consider a " date " anymore. And just wait until September, when the new harvest arrives!!
