Stewed Dried Fruit

Stewed fruit, a bit old-fashioned perhaps, but still good. This recipe uses dried fruit; prunes, figs and apricots are asked. I'm sure you could use whatever dried fruit you have on had.

The recipe calls for all the fruit to be cooked for 30 minutes. This was fine for my figs, a bit much for my apricots, and too much for my prunes which were mostly falling apart (albeit I had small rather than large prunes).

I used only 1/2cup of sugar, rather than 1cup. This was fine.

Jaffrey suggests removing the fruit and boiling the liquid down to reduce it. This is a good idea!

Very yummy with yogurt, over ice cream, etc.
