Another Date?

No, this post has nothing to do with my pregnancy but everything to do with Dates.  A recipe for a Date Loaf to be precise.  I know I have a Recipe Blog which hasn't been updated for yonks (but I still use it often) but I thought I'd note the recipe here.  I actually got it from the lovely (also preggers) Jeanie, from 'Jeanie in Paradise'.  (I trust she doesn't mind me sharing it with you all - I'm not sure where she got the recipe herself from.)

I have baked it twice now - it is so easy to whip up and very delicious (especially warm!). I suggest you give it a go! 

Date Loaf

Ingredients

1 cup water

1 cup sugar

2 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon bi-carb soda

175g (6oz) dates, chopped

2 cups self raising flour

1 egg

Method

In a saucepan, bring to the boil the water, sugar, butter, bi-carb and dates.  When boiled, take off heat and add flour and egg.  Mix.  Pour into a greased loaf tin (I line mine with baking paper, extending 5cm over the sides) and bake in a Moderate oven for 30-45 mins.

Enjoy.

Trust me, you will.
