How to make date sugar (paleo/gluten free)

Place the baking tray in the oven and allow the dates to roast in the oven until they are SEMI HARD (not mushy) so keep a watchful on them during the entire process. How long the dates take to roast will be a few hours Keep a watchful eye on your dates as they SHOULD NOT burn, decrease the oven temperature if you need to, if they burn the method is ruined.

Once done remove from the oven, set aside and let the dates cool completely they will harden as they cool down (you can leave them in the oven, switched off if you want to). Once cooled and hardened, pulse the dates in VERY SMALL segments (THIS IS CRUCIAL SO YOU DON'T DAMAGE YOUR PROCESSOR) using either a food processor/coffee grinder into a powdery form. The sugar may lump after pulverising, don't worry this is normal and still be used.
