Directions

Place the figs, apricots, prunes, cranberries, raisins, and golden raisins into a bowl. Pour in just enough water to cover. Cover the bowl and soak overnight, at least 8 hours.
Pour the fruit with the soaking water into a saucepan. Stir in the pine nuts and honey. Bring to a simmer, cook, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is tender but still holds its shape, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat, return the fruit and liquid to the bowl, being careful not to break up the fruit. Cool to room temperature.

Recipe Note

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.
