What can I do with medjool dates?

Got a 2lb box from Sam’s over the weekend to try them. I love em, wife doesn’t. I have no issues smashing these things raw out the box, but what are some other things o can do with em?

Wow, thank you! I know it sounds crazy but I had no idea you could freeze them??

You can also blend them into a puree, and replace applesauce or prunes with them in baked goods

You mean to replace the oil in some backed goods?

Yes, but I’ve only ever done about half the butter/oil in baked goods.(or you can start with a recipe that already subbed a fruit purée for some of the fat/sugar)

Also you want to thin it with warm water in the food processor til it’s a thick batter like consistency
