This is lovely, especially if warmed but very high in sugar, even though it is natural fructose, dried fruits can almost triple in the amount of sugar and calories, so don’t have too much! maybe just a large tablespoon on top of porridge or a small bowl to kick start the day with something more substantial to follow such as tofu scramble. Diabetics or those with sugar handling problems beware.
Choose from:
- Figs
- Raisins
- Currants
- Sultanas/raisins
- Prunes
- Apricots
- Dates
Soak these in filtered water overnight, remove from the water in the morning and place in a colander to drain, chop the ones that need chopping, toss with juice of a lime and a fresh chopped apple – top with a little nut cream or just a little soy yogurt and some seeds.
If you want it warm, put in a pan and heat gently for a few minutes.
