Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 2 cups dried fruit (cranberries, figs, dates, etc.)
- 2-3 cups fruit juice (orange, apple, cranberry, etc.)
- up to 2 tablespoons vegan sugar or other sweetener (optional)
Directions:
As much an idea as a recipe...
Combine two cups of dried fruit, in a
saucepan with juice enough to cover. If
using a very tart fruit like
cranberries, you may wish to add a
little sugar to taste.
Simmer over low heat for twenty
minutes. Strain fruit, reserving
liquid. Put fruit into blender or food
processor and blend until smooth. If
mixture is too thick, re-add liquid by
the tablespoon until mixture is
spreadable, but not too thin.
Use fruit butter on toast, muffins,
waffles, scones, oatmeal or other hot
cereal...
Note: I've tried this recipe with a
WIDE variety of fruits and juices.
(Cranberries with cranberry or orange
juice, apricots with apricot nectar,
figs with orange juice, etc.)
Definitely, feel free to play with the
ingredients and their quantities. The
only things I would probably not
recommend would be a very sugary dried
fruit like pineapple, or something as
leathery as dried apple, but if you try
them and they work for you, let me know!
