Dulce de leche de dátil (date milk jam)

Soak the pitted dates in hot water for 30 minutes.

Blend the drained dates with the 25 ml of evaporated milk and the 5 drops of vanilla flavoring in intervals until a uniform mixture is obtained. You can increase or reduce the amount of milk to obtain a more liquid or pasty mixture according to preference.

OPTIONAL: Add the mixture to a cauldron and cook over low heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring constantly. It will give it a thicker consistency and similar to the authentic dulce de leche.
