Instructions

  1. Quickly rinse the dried fruit in cold water to remove dust.
  2. Place them in a pan with the water, cinnamon stick and cloves.
  3. Bring gently to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes with a lid on.
  4. Add the sugar and lemon zest, then continue cooking for 10 minutes until the syrup thickens slightly.
  5. Remove the cinnamon and zest, then let it rest for at least 1 hour.
  6. Serve warm or cold, making sure to leave a few pieces of fruit in each bowl.

Variations and tips

Version without added sugar. Leave out the sugar and let the fruit soak longer in the water so it releases more natural flavour.
