Raw Fig Ginger and Pear Tart
Yesterday, my wonderful assistant Shannon and I sat down and figured out all of the new recipes for the 2014 calendar which will be available in October. I am so excited to get working on all of the delicious recipes that will be included! I made sure that none of the recipes require a dehydrator so the calendar is universal to anyone wanting to experiment with raw food! All of the recipes are unique to the calendar and delicious.

While doing some research for this year’s calendar, I pulled out the 2011 calendar. The raw Dried Fig and Pear Tart was so good, I decided to share it with you! It is one of my all-time favorite recipes. Easy to make and no dehydrator needed! The filling is studded with pears, figs and ginger! Pears are in season so it is a great time to make this delicious tart.

Hi, this looks great! but I have a question concerning agave.
I’m just learning that there is no such thing as raw agave syrup and that it is a processed product even worse for your health than sugar.
Is raw agave nectar something else?

Please check the FAQ page for information on agave.

Lovely looking tart, Susan. I just found out where I can get some coconut oil (organic, too) that I can afford, so I can make some of your recipes. This one looks a winner!
Peace, Mari

Is the 2014 calendar an e-calendar or a regular paper one? Looking forward to some new recipes. The Pear and Fig recipe sounds yummy.

It will be a paper calendar. It is actually a jewel box calendar. With photos and the calendar on the front, the recipe on the back of each card. 🙂

Hi, this looks lovely, a lot of your recipies contain nuts, for a person with nut allergies (except coconut) what would you suggest as an alternative in making these recipies?

I have done one nut-free “cheesecake”. You can find it here: http://www.rawmazing.com/strawberry-chocolate-cheesecake-no-nuts/ You might try that base.
