When I first saw this challenge, I thought oh no! Not a nut challenge! I am allergic to both nuts and seeds, although I do cheat and eat them from time to time in small quantities and hope that I don’t fall sick! Haha! Ok, it’s not funny when I do fall sick!<\/p>\n

Anyway, I did not want to take any risk. Then, I saw that this challenge allowed fruit butters as well for nut allergy sufferers! I could have made a bean butter with chickpeas but I used this for a previous challenge to replace nuts in a satay. So I thought I’d try a fruit butter instead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Fruit butter is similar to making jam except that it doesn’t require any jellying agent and uses much less sugar. However, it is cooked for 2 hours. I was short of time. So, I only cooked it for 1\/2 hour and it was fine. I only made a small quantity and did not add any extra liquid to the fruits, so it dried up quicker.<\/div>\n

DARING COOKS JULY 2010 CHALLENGE: NUT BUTTERS<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This was a pretty quick challenge to make. I decided I would use my fruit butter as a dressing for an Asian salad. I made the fruit butter a few days before and had used half of it by the time I took the photo!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Apple and Pineapple Fruit Butter<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n

I am not providing an exact recipe for the fruit butter as I can’t remember the quantities I used! But I don’t think quantities matter that much as basically the fruits are pureed, sweetened a little bit, water added, then cooked for 2 hours. In my case, I only cooked it for half an hour.<\/p>\n

So, I took 2 apples, peeled and cut them into small pieces. I used about 1\/2 pineapple, peeled and also cut into small pieces. Place all fruits in a blender and process to a puree (a hand blender is also fine for this). Add 2-3 tablespoons sugar and place in a thick bottom pan. Cook on low-medium heat for 30 minutes or until thick enough to use as a spread.<\/p>\n

Asian Salad<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t have an exact recipe for the quantities of the salad ingredients as I just picked and tossed in what I had on hand. Roughly for 2 persons, here are what I used:<\/p>\n

200g Sweet potato noodles (boiled until soft, then rinse in cold water to prevent them from glueing with one another)
\n1 medium sized carrot (finely sliced with the vegetable peeler)
\nMixed peppers (sliced)
\n150g frozen broad beans (immersed in boiling water for 10 minutes, then drained)
\n4-5 radishes (sliced)
\n70g raw green beans (sliced with the bean slicer)<\/p>\n

Toss and blend everything together in a big salad bowl.<\/p>\n

Fruit Butter Asian Salad Dressing<\/span><\/p>\n

1 tablespoon fruit butter
\n1 teaspoon wasabi paste
\n1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
\n1\/2 teaspoon (or to taste) fine chili powder
\n1 tablespoon rice vinegar
\n1 tablespoon fruit syrup (or maple syrup\/agave nectar)
\nSalt to taste<\/p>\n

Mix all ingredients together.<\/p>\n

Pour on salad just before serving.<\/p>\n
