Spiced Dried Fruit Salad image

When served warm this is a great fruit dessert for those cold winter nights. I serve it with good quality Greek yoghurt. Or, serve it chilled with icecream. Or with pancakes for breakfast. This is a favourite with my family. It can be varied infinitely too - so don't worry if you don't have all the ingredients. This comes from Stephanie Alexander's Cooks Companion. Australian measurements used.

Time 38m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

30 g dried apples
50 g dried apricots
30 g dried figs
30 g dried pears
30 g dried peaches
1/2 cinnamon stick
2 cloves
1 teaspoon honey
1 pinch powdered saffron
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or 1/2 vanilla bean, split
1 strip lemon zest
20 g slivered almonds (or flaked)
20 g shelled pistachios
orange flower water or orange oil, essence

Steps:

  • Put all the dried fruit plus the cinnamon, cloves, honey, saffron, vanilla and lemon zest into a sauce pan. Add cold water to just barely cover the fruit.
  • Place on stove on a low-medium heat and slowly bring to simmering point. Cook for 15 minutes, gently stirring once during this time. Remove from heat.
  • Cool to desired serving temperature - remove cinnamon & cloves (if you can find them). Just before serving stir in the almonds, pistachios and a few drops of orange flower water (or to taste).
  • Note: if you prefer you can place the cinnamon & cloves into a muslin bag to make removal easier.
