The 7th biblical month must be close because oh me, oh my. I spy dates!
We eat dates three ways. One way is photographed here in the post. The dates are slightly sweet and crunchy. Kind of an apple-like crunch, but the dates here still have a little tannin so they are drying to your mouth, like a cup of tea is.
The second way is when they are fully ripe. They drop from the cluster and they ooze sticky honey. These must be frozen to preserve them. I like this but it’s not my favorite.
The third way is dried and this is the form you are probably most familiar with. This is my favorite way to eat dates.
The seventh month is coming at us fast now!!!!
