Date & Cinnamon (100g)

For Meats

• Whole Ham Glaze: Coat a cooked ham generously with the Date & Cinnamon Rub, pressing it into the surface evenly. Roast uncovered at a low temperature to create a golden, caramelised glaze. This is perfect for holiday feasts or special occasions. Check out our recipe section to see the full method and photo of this show-stopping dish!
• Dry Rub: Apply the rub generously to pork, lamb, or chicken. Rub it in evenly and let the meat rest for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight to allow the flavours to infuse.
• Wet Glaze: Mix the rub with a touch of honey or maple syrup to create a sticky glaze for ribs, pork chops, or roast duck. Apply during the last 20 minutes of cooking for a rich, caramelised finish.

For Vegetables

• Roasted Vegetables: Sprinkle the rub over butternut squash, carrots, or parsnips before roasting at 200°C (400°F). The natural sweetness of the date sugar and warming spices enhance the caramelisation of the vegetables.
• Sweet Potato Wedges: Toss sweet potato wedges with olive oil and the rub, then bake until golden and crisp for a sweet and smoky side dish.

Creative Ideas

• Baking: Add a pinch of the rub to biscuit or cake batter for a hint of cinnamon sweetness. It pairs especially well with chocolate or fruit-based desserts.
• Popcorn Seasoning: Sprinkle the rub over freshly popped popcorn for a unique sweet and spiced snack.

Pro Tip for Date & Cinnamon Flavour

Pair your glazed meats or roasted vegetables with fresh, tart sides like cranberry sauce, apple slaw, or pickled onions to balance the sweetness and warm spices. For desserts, pair with cream or custard for a decadent treat.
