Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raisins
- 1 cup Dates (pitted)
- 1 cup Figs (dried, stems removed)
- 1 cup Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Chop the raisins, dates, and figs into small pieces for easier cooking and blending.
In a medium saucepan, combine the raisins, dates, figs, orange juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit softens and the liquid reduces slightly.
Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture, and stir well to combine.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Using an immersion blender or food processor, blend the mixture until smooth or your desired level of chunkiness.
Let the filling cool completely before spreading it onto the 1-2-3-4 Bar base or using it as needed.
