  • 1.40 kg (3 pounds) roma tomatoes, quartered
  • 240 ml (1 cup) apple cider
  • 200 g (20 ) pitted dates
  • (4 sprigs) fresh thyme leaves
  • (1 ) lemon, juiced, zested
  • (2 teaspoons) kosher salt, optional

2. Place the immersion blender into the middle of the cooking pot. Submerge the immersion blender below the surface of the liquid, or as close to the ingredients as possible.
