    Date sugar used to be readily available - I haven’t seen it lately in the stores. It is dried ground up dates.

    When replacing sugar with date sugar I always packed the cup with it - and then added water into the cup to fill it.

    Then I would add 1 teaspoon of Sweet Leaf Whole Leaf Stevia Concentrate. (It is brown - I like it much better than the clear stevia because I think it tastes more like sugar)

    If I wanted to replace brown sugar, all I do is add 1 Tablespoon of molasses to the recipe.

    Since date sugar is not as readily available, you could just pack a cup with regular dates, raisins, grated apples - something like that - and then add the stevia.

    Reading back over that recipe - I think the 1 cup water that is mentioned might have been there when I wasn’t adding the water to the date sugar.

    I would guess that this recipe was prior to the time when I realized that adding the water to the dates and letting them sit a while made the dish much sweeter.

    Be sure to not overdo the water in this recipe.
