Our favorite healthy holiday desserts don’t sacrifice one bit of festive flavor.

Enjoy a slice of pie made with fresh seasonal ingredients and flavors, including pear, cranberry, apple, and (hooray!) chocolate.

Even in deep winter, relish the taste of fresh fruits by using organic, supple dried fruits.

Fast, easy, and party-worthy. You could substitute apricots for the figs.

Calimyrna figs are plump, golden, and less sweet than Mission figs, so they’re perfect for a savory dish like pizza.

Serve these preserves with cheese and prosciutto as an appetizer, add it to sauces for fish or poultry, or simply spread on toast.

A terrific party dessert. This method works with just about any dried fruit; we love apricot, mango, papaya, and pineapple.

Stunningly good. Don’t throw away the muddled apricots; transfer to a bowl until the ice melts, and then drain and use in cookie dough batter or on top of yogurt.

Serve this sweet-spicy salsa for a party with pita chips, or spoon onto roasted pork tenderloin.
