Baobab Jam

Baobab Jam

Baobab Jam has a lovely sweet-apricot flavor and is a dinner party talking point when accompanying meat dishes, but can equally be spread thickly on warm toast for breakfast. Don’t be alarmed when it starts out cloudy, it turns a clear orange when done. Just remember to keep stirring as you make it as it can easily stick to the bottom of the pot in the early stages of cooking. We have given a recipe for just one jar, but if you double or triple it you can make more jars for your friends and family.

Course Side Dish

Servings 1 Jar

Ingredients

1 cup Sugar
½ cup Baobab Powder
2 cups Water

Instructions

In a medium-sized pot mix the sugar and baobab powder with a little water at a time until all the water has been added.
Bring to the boil and then reduce temperature and let it simmer without stirring for 20 minutes or until it reaches setting point.
Let the baobab superfruit jam cool in the pot before pouring into sterilized bottles.

Notes

While the jam is boiling use a metal spoon to remove the white foam that develops on the surface.
If you are unsure if the jam has reached setting point place a tsp of jam on a cold plate, wait until it cools and feel if it is thick like jam.
To sterilize bottles, boil the bottles in water for 10 minutes.

Nutritious Breakfast Bowl

Nutritious Breakfast Bowl

Smoothies are wonderful for when you want breakfast in a hurry, but breakfast bowls are just the thing when you’re wanting to savour crunch, creaminess and fruity succulence all at the same time. Light enough for post-workout nourishment and substantial enough to give you an energy burst to start your day, this baobab mango fruit bowl ticks all the boxes.

Organic baobab fruit powder adds a powerful anti-oxidant dose of Vitamin C and calcium, along with useful amounts of magnesium, potassium and soluble dietary fibre. Baobab fruit powder is also known for its prebiotic properties, thereby helping probiotics do their work. We’ve added in Earthshine’s Moringa & Baobab Granola for raw nutritious crunchiness, colour and flavour as well as Hi Honey’s Baobab infused Honey – which combines the many benefits of raw honey with an extra infusion of baobab fruit powder.

Especially developed and photographed for EcoProducts by Candice Douglas of the Social Post, this is a tried and tested recipe that focuses on exceptional taste using locally produced natural ingredients wherever possible. With sweet, ripe mangoes and berries in season, almonds contributing protein and calcium and creamy coconut milk for healthy fat, this is a fruit bowl to fall in love with. So here’s the recipe – with a warning. You’ll find yourself wanting to lick the bowl clean regardless of the company you’re in. We did!!
