Organic Date Jam

As the weather starts to cool down, there is no better way to start a chilly morning than with a warm, crunchy piece of toast with butter and jam. Most of the jams and jellies that you buy from the store are heavily processed and contain A LOT of artificial sugar or high fructose corn syrup which can not only be detrimental to your health in the long run but will also cause a sugar crash. This organic date jam has one ingredient and by using the entire date, the natural sugar works with the fiber in the fruit in order to provide long-lasting energy. Simplify your meals and morning with this ONE ingredient jam from @nivtalks, made with fresh, Coachella’s Best Organic Medjool Dates!

Nivedita from @nivtalks likes to spread her Date Jam on hearty grain bread and top with cheese, pistachios, and sea salt. She also recommends swirling it in yogurt, smearing it inside a grilled cheese, or blending it into a vanilla milkshake! You can also use it in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or make jars to give to family and friends during the holidays! Here is how you make it:
