Excellent and definitely a keeper. I made a couple changes because we do not like nutmeg. Whenever a recipe calls for nutmeg, I substitute with cardamom. It\u2019s on the same end of the taste scale but doesn\u2019t have that nasty aftertaste nutmeg does. I also baked into 8 x 4 pans. Just FYI 2 1\/2 cups of dates is 12 ounces of Medjool dates weighed before they are pitted. I did not make the spread as my husband does not care for cream cheese frosting or spreads.

Why do you add baking soda to dates?<\/h3>Add fresh baking soda<\/a> to dates in this recipe to help soften them, making them chewier and more tender. It will also help in making the dough rise while baking. \r\n\r\n
How long does date nut bread last?<\/h3>When wrapped in plastic or kept in a resealable bag or container, date nut bread can be stored on your kitchen counter for up to four days. You can also freeze the bread<\/a>, wrap in plastic or foil and place in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. \r\n\r\n
Does date nut bread need to be refrigerated?<\/h3>While date nut bread does not need to be refrigerated, you can extend the shelf life of your date nut bread by keeping it wrapped, airtight, in plastic or in a resealable plastic bag in your refrigerator for up to one week.
