Medjool dates & fresh figs

[Catrin]

A delicious, healthy, fiber rich dessert I kind of Frankensteined out of some raw recipes:

In a food processor, process a few fresh medjool dates, a tablespoon or two of ground flax seed, a pinch of salt, and a half a cup of rolled oats. add a tablespoon of maple syrup or agave nectar. Should be crumbly at this point.

Sprinkle the crumble on top of juicy, ripe peaches, sliced up

Perfect!

Sounds fantastic and I can see mixing this concoction with berries! I've a confession, I really don't care for peaches, nectarines or citrus.
I WILL eat a peach before an orange though, and I do like peach ice-cream. Then again, I've yet to find an ice cream I don't like

I absolutely LOVE medjool dates - sometimes they are called the "queen of dates". Also if you can find them, barhi (honey) dates, which are smaller and rounder, and black dates are great. If you have a middle-eastern food store you can get them in bulk and they may be a little cheaper.

Dried figs- just don't eat the stem. I like mission and calimyrna dried figs, but it's easy to eat too many of them.

I love dried figs, just hadn't had fresh figs before yesterday and wasn't certain if I was supposed to eat the skin or not. I did

So I've tried two new fruits, well, one really and another in a form I've not had before. I would like to try other non-citrus fruits as well - but I draw the line at prunes <shiver>
