Bottom Fruit Coconut Yogurt Jars: 2 ways
These little jars are so pretty. I make a bunch and then pop them into everyone's lunch for the week and they are a great late-night snack when I want something sweet and creamy.
Ingredients
For the Strawberry Rhubarb Bottom Layer
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- 1 cup chopped rhubarb
- 1/2 cup date puree (1/2 cup dates to 1/4 cup warm water)
- 1/8 cup fresh lemon juice
Coconut DIY Probiotic Yogurt
- 1/2 cup Yogurt per jar Check the recipe link above in this post for the recipe
For the Peach Bottom Layer
- 12 peaches sliced
- 1 1/2 cup date puree (1.5 cup dates to 1/2 cup of warm water)
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Fruit Bottom
- Chop the fruit of choice into bite-size chunks and add to a large thick bottom pot
- Add the lemon juice and mash the fruit with a potato masher.
- Add the date mixture and stir. To make the Date puree, take your soaked and pitted dates with the warm water and process in a blender or food processor until well mixed (you could substitute coconut sugar if you are ok with the refined sugar, but I love the added fiber from dates and the caramel notes it brings to the fruit layer).
- Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, being careful to stir the jam so it does not burn.
- Turn the heat down to medium and let it cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning.
- Take the pot off the heat and let it cool. At this stage, if you prefer a smoother consistency, use an immersion blender.
Assembly
- Once completely cooled, scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of this strawberry- rhubarb preserve into the bottom of small mason jars.
- Top with ½ cup of Probiotic Coconut Yogurt, Secure the lid, and store in the fridge for 7-10 days.
- For the peach flavor, follow the same assembly but use the 3 Ingredient Peach Jam recipe for the fruit bottom.
Notes
For any extra fruit preserve, I like to store it in the fridge in a jar for 1-2 months as jam for sprouted toast, on top of pancakes or drizzled over porridge. Using up this sweet fruit mixture is never a problem in my house.
