Shamsher Singh has been making date jaggery for 20 years. He told Local 18 that making date jaggery starts early in the morning. First of all, after climbing the date palm tree, a light cut is made to maintain its freshness. From this cut, the juice of the date slowly comes out, which is collected in a vessel hanging on the tree. This process lasts for about 30 hours. Then the vessel is filled with juice.
Juice cooks on low flame
He further told that when the vessel is filled with juice, then it is taken out in a bigger vessel and taken for cooking. The juice is cooked on low flame for a long time.
