This recipe from Padma Lakshmi's new best seller, Love, Loss, and What We Ate, sweetens with just the fruit - no added sugar - and is a delicious way to add fiber to your diet.
How was it? All my taste testers asked for seconds!
My Paleo Marin Rating: 4.5 Persimmons*
Ingredients:
4 cups water
20 Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
1/4 cup tamarind paste
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 - 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, personal preference
Directions:
1. Boil 4 cups of water in a 2 quart sauce pan.
2. Add the chopped dates, tamarind paste and spices. Start with 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and add more if desired; I added 1 1/2 teaspoons, pretty spicy for me, but the taste testers agreed it was just right at "medium."
3. Simmer for about 30 minutes (uncovered). Stir frequently and cook until until the mixture becomes a thick sauce, similar to bar-b-que sauce.
4. Place in sterile jars and store in fridge for about a month.
Makes about 3 cups of chutney.

I try out these recipes so you don't have to (and modify them for Paleo where possible). The rating will reflect my opinion of the final result in terms of taste, ease of preparation, nutrition, and sometimes, cost.
