APRICOT-FIG BUTTER

CINNAMON TOAST TRIANGLES WITH APRICOT-FIG BUTTER

I thought this might taste interesting because it kinda smelled weird when I was cooking it, but I was surprised at how good it was. Jackson just kept on wanting more and more. Scott was suspicious and was trying to figure out what was in it before he would try it - I didn't tell him because I knew he wouldn't try it (to this day he still won't eat Farmer's Chop Suey because he watch me make it one time). He tried it and really liked it.


EVERY INGREDIENT IN THIS RECIPE EXCEPT THE CINNAMON CONTAINS IRON. IF YOU WANT EVEN MORE IRON - TRY TO USE CINNAMON BREAD THAT IS FORTIFIED WITH IRON.

1 loaf Cinnamon swirl bread (used Cinnamon Burst bread from WinCo (bakery section))
---
12 - dried mission figs (snip the ends)
18 - dried apricots
3/4 cup prune juice
2 TBSP Molasses
1 tsp Cinnamon

Put above ingredients (not bread) in a large glass bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 7-9 minutes, stirring several times. Remove, uncover and let cool several minutes. Puree mixture in a food processor or blender (used the BrAun).

Toast the bread and spread on apricot-fig spread. Can either eat open face or put another piece of bread on top. Cut each slice into 4 triangles.

2 triangles = 4g fiber and 3 mg iron.
