The nutritional value of red dates is relatively high, and they have a good effect on invigorating the blood and Qi, known as the natural vitamin pill. There are also many ways to eat red dates, such as eating them raw, soaking them in water, or making jujube paste. When making jujube paste, it is often necessary to peel the skin, and at this time, it is best to boil the red dates first, and it will be much easier to peel them after that.

1, Wash the dried red dates (choose larger ones as much as possible, which will be much easier later) and put them into a pot, pour in an appropriate amount of water (the water level should be about one inch higher than the dates, but the dried dates will float, you can press them down to feel).

2, Boil the water with high heat, then turn down the heat to simmer. You need to flip it a few times while cooking. At first, the skin will not break, so you can flip it with a spatula, and later you must flip the pot directly, otherwise the jujubes will be all soft.

3, When the jujube is fully ripe and gets bigger, its color also becomes darker, and the water level gradually decreases. Turn off the heat at this time, and the water level is about half the height of the jujubes. Let it soak overnight, and flip it once in the middle to change its position up and down, so that the jujube can absorb all the water.

4, After a night of soaking, peeling the jujube is very convenient, it can be easily peeled off. Just press it with your fingers in the middle, and the kernel will come out; peel and remove the kernel from all the jujubes.

5, Put the peeled jujube flesh into a blender and blend it into a paste. You can also put the cooked, peeled and kernelless jujube into a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to roll it into a paste.

6, Jujube has a high sugar content, and it can be fried slightly to be used as a filling for bread or dumplings. The color of the fried jujube paste will become darker, but it is super sweet. The fried jujube paste still has some liquidity, and it should be placed in the refrigerator after cooling.
