In a pot, stir together the maple syrup, water and cinnamon, and bring to a boil.

When the mixture begins to boil, remove from the heat and stir in the chopped dates.

Allow the mixture to sit for about an hour, until cooled and the dates have absorbed some of the liquid.

Using an immersion blender, puree the dates and liquid in the pot until you have a thick consistency .

Store in a glass jar or airtight container in the refrigerator.
