Wonderful dessert for entertaining! Ingredients:
1lb. mixed dried fruit such as |
prunes, apricots, figs, apples, pears and peaches (7-1/2c.) |
2-1/2c. water |
2tbs. sherry |
juice of 1/2 lemon |
2tbs. honey |
1/2 cinnamon stick |
1/4c. brandy |
3/4c. toasted sliced almonds |
1/2c. coarsely chopped; walnuts |
Directions:
1. Soak dried fruit overnight in water and sherry.
2. In a saucepan, place fruit and soaking liquid, lemon juice, honey and cinnamon stick. Cover and simmer over low heat until fruit is just tender. Discard cinnamon stick, transfer fruit to a serving dish and keep warm.
3. In a small pan, heat brandy and light. While still flaming, pour over fruit and sprinkle with almonds and walnuts.
