Blueberry Fig Jam • Fruit Only

Blueberries be jammin’ in this simple sweet spread made from only fruit. Blueberries and figs are BFFs in my book that’s why I’m pairing them up in this jar of purple goodness. Dates bring their much-loved sweet personality to the party too, leaving no room for added sugar.

And if you’re like me, then you’ll leave it chunky with a few whole blueberries peaking through.

No sugar allowed. This is a fruit only jam, so save the coconut sugar and maple syrup for another time. A mixture of plump juicy blueberries and sweet dried fruit lends all the sweet this jar of jam needs.

This jam is super easy to make: Jam ingredients go into a food processor. Everything spins around for a bit. Jam comes out of the food processor. Done.

It also happens to be raw! Even though I don’t make as many raw recipes as I used to, I still love the ease of simple fruit-based raw recipes. A new website that I’m loving is LFRVrecipes.com. There is a lovely collection of sweet and savory raw recipes over there, and I’ve even contributed a few of my own.

What to do with it?

  • Spread it on bread
  • Top a bowl of ice cream
  • Sandwich with some PB or AB
  • Dollop on top of oatmeal
  • Top a stack of pancakes
  • Make a pie
  • Or save it for a breakfast recipe I’ll be sharing later this week!

Blueberry Fig Jam

2.5 cups blueberries (I used frozen and thawed)

1/2 cup dried figs

1/2 cup pitted medjool dates

  1. Process the dried figs, dates, and 1.5 cups of the blueberries.
  2. Pulse in the last cup of blueberries for a chunky consistency.
  3. The sweetness will depend on how ripe and tasty your blueberries are, so taste it. If it’s not sweet enough add a few more dates and process again.
  4. Store in the fridge.

What’s your favorite way to eat jam?

      I usually use it up pretty fast, but well sealed in the fridge it could probably last a month or two 🙂

    I finally got around to making this. There were about 1/2 cup dried figs at the end of a bag that were not ready for prime time…..they tasted a bit like they were fermenting! I had this recipe filed away in my head knowing that some day I would make it. Fantastic! Delicious! SO EASY! It won’t last long in my frig!

    Really like this! Being the idiot I am I accidentally got fresh figs, so I just used dates, and subbed blueberries for blackberries. I’m guessing blueberries will work better as they don’t have so many seeds, but I love the concept and the jam tastes really good!

      Dates in here would be really yummy too I bet, and yes totally works with any kind of berries but with raspberry or blackberry it will be seedier. And accidentally having extra fresh figs on hand is really not a bad problem to have😉

    Instead of dried figs, could frozen and thawed figs be used for part of blueberries and dates doubled?

    Reply

      July 7, 2022 at 9:34 am

      You could double the dates and take the figs out, that would be fine. If you use non dried figs you will have to cook it quite a lot longer and may need to sweeten it more since the dried ones are MUCH sweeter and don’t have the same liquid the fresh would

    Natalie! Thank you so much for providing the inspiration and foundation for making this simple ingredient and naturally sweetened jam. I experimented by adding lime zest and juice to one batch and cooking it down. On a second batch, I added freshly grated ginger, as well as mandarin powder and blended it. Both so lovely – thank you 🙂

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles
-1 package @emmysorganics Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies
-1/4 cup (65g) almond or peanut butter
-1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips, melted
-Pinch of salt
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-8oz vegan white chocolate.
-Optional: natural pink sprinkles + 1/4 cup more melted dark chocolate for topping

Melt the white chocolate. Pour a small spoonful into the bottom of each cavity of the mold, and tilt to coat the bottom and up the sides of each heart. Freeze. Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
