Add all of the ingredients to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil then cover with a lid and turn the heat down to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the sauce reduces slightly and the dates soften.

Carefully transfer to a high-speed blender and blend on high until smooth. You can add water a tablespoon at a time if you feel like it's too thick. An immersion blender is another option to blend if you have one, but I recommend using a high-powered blender like a Vitamix.

Use the sauce immediately or store in an air tight container, like a mason jar, for up to 2 weeks.
