I have been given a large bowl of fresh dates (Not the dried ones). I do not know what I could make with them. My kids don't like them raw.

Natalia Rose has a recipe where she uses dates with fresh bahaha sliced, a good amount of lemon juice and finish with maple syrup. You'd be surprised@ how delicious this combo is.

Some dates are more tannic than others and you're never quite sure what flavor will materialize after you pop a date into your mouth. Here's an old NY Times article about fresh dates:

Thank you for the article. It suggests pitting then putting an almond in the hole and then steeping in rosewater. Will try that. Thanks again :)

Maybe you can pickle them. Might help with the astringency of this variety of dates. Some people like that tannic quality. I love the crisp texture, but no matter how long you let them dry, the astringency will remain. It's a basic characteristic of this variety of dates.

I know a paste can be made from dried dates; it is used as a sweetener/fat replacement for baked goods. I would think fresh dates could be cooked and reduced and used that way if you can't find other ways to use them up. I actually used a homemade paste from dried dates once in chocolate chip cookies. They were soft but delicious and not overly date flavored.
