Really, Truly Gorgeous Dried Fruit Salad image

A really, truly gorgeous dried fruit salad that i serve in the evenings to share with my mum and sisters over a good movie. I use organic pine nuts, and rain forest honey... of course, you don't have to, but sometimes these little touches help, I think. Add the pine nuts however much or little you like 'em, about 2 ounces is good for me. I serve this in sundae glasses, to show off the fruit, with plain yogurt and a sprinkling of Demerara sugar.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces dried figs
8 ounces dried apricots
8 ounces pitted prunes
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup raisins

I found this salad to be a bit dry. I would recommend adding some fresh fruit or yogurt to make it more moist.

This salad is a little too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less dried fruit and more nuts and seeds.
