Spiced Figs & Pears

Vegan, Gluten-Free

Ingredients

• 4 Bartlett pears, diced into medium-sized cubes

• 1/3 c water

• Juice of ½ lemon

• 1/4 c D’vash date syrup

• 5 sun dried figs, finely diced

• 1 tbsp cornstarch

• ½ tsp cinnamon

• ¼ tsp nutmeg

• ⅛ tsp allspice

• ⅛ tsp cloves

• Pinch of salt

Directions

1. Add all of the ingredients to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer.

2. Stir every minute or so until the liquids have completely reduced, pears softened, and figs rehydrated. You should be able to easily put a fork through a piece of pear, and the pears should be aromatic and covered in a thick, sticky glaze.

3. Store in an airtight container in the fridge and use in challah, crumbles, oatmeal, pies, or any other way you can imagine (even on its own 😉)!
