Tea Infused Prunes and Figs image

This is one of those dishes that taste sooo much better than it sounds. If the mention of prunes bring back nightmare memories of school dinners (prunes and cold custard Urgh!!), you could use dried apricots instead. (Prep time includes cooling time)

I'm not a huge fan of tea, but I still enjoyed these prunes and figs. The tea flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the fruit.

These are a great healthy snack. They're sweet but not too sweet, and they have a lot of fiber.
