Suggested Recipes
-
4 cardamom pods
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 cup (50 mL) liquid honey
2 strips lemon peel
2 tbsp (25 mL) lemon juice
1 lb (500 g) mixed dried fruit (apricots, prunes, figs, pears and cranberries)
3 large pink or red grapefruits
Preparation:
Lightly crush cardamom pods and cinnamon stick; place in saucepan along with 1 cup (250 mL) water, honey and lemon peel and juice. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add dried fruit; stir to coat. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until puffed and tender, 30 minutes. Transfer to bowl; let cool. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.)
Meanwhile, cut off skin and outer membranes of grapefruits. Working over dried fruit mixture to catch juices, cut between membranes and fruit to release sections into bowl; stir gently. Discard cardamom and cinnamon.
