Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup dried apricots diced
- 4 whole dried figs cut in half
- 1/8 cup pistachios
- 1/8 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/8 cup sesame seeds
- a couple of sprigs of rosemary optional
Instructions
- Put a small amount of honey in the bottom of your jar
- Arrange the figs, bottom side down and cut side out, along the bottom fo the jar, using the honey to 'glue' the figs to the side of the jar.
- Fill the space behind the figs with your choice of fruits or nuts. I like the contrast that the pistachios give.
- Add a little more honey to cover the pistachios and figs
- Continue adding layers of fruits and nuts, topping each layer with a little honey.
- After letting the honey settle, you may need to go back and top off your jar with a bit more honey. You want everything to be covered with honey.
- If adding rosemary, put it in the middle of the jar, ensuring that it will stay covered with the honey, which acts as a natural preservative.
