Winter Dates in packaging, bought from Fairprice supermarket, Singapore. Photo by Angela Lansbury.
I was looking for fruit in a Fairprice supermarket in Singapore. I wanted cheap fruit. The prices of most fruit in Singapore is twice the price of the UK.
I spied Winter Dates. What were they? Dates?
I bought them.
When I got home I was disappointed to find that they were rock hard. I was also puzzled. What was I supposed to do with them? Wait until they matured and softened? Then eat them raw? Or boil them up?
I bit into one. It is edible. Like a hard apple. No flavour. Maybe bulk with a flavoursome fruit to make a fruit salad or fruit pie.
One suggestion on Facebook from Jane>
- I looked ir up.
- Shredded apple, walnuts.
- Another suggestion, try soaking them in wine for a couple of days.
