Take advantage of this season’s fresh fruits and create this refreshing and nourishing Winter Fruit Salad. Make a batch so you have a healthy and ready to go-to meal during the week.
Serves: Six (or can be portioned)
Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
600g good-quality ready-to-eat dried fruits (such as prunes, pears, apricots, figs and cranberries)
3 tablespoons honey
1 vanilla pod, split lengthways
1 Earl Grey tea bag
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Greek yoghurt, to serve
Method
Tip the fruits and 700ml of cold water into a large saucepan. Add the honey and vanilla, scraping the seeds from the pod into the pan. Bring to the boil. Stir well, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until slightly syrupy. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the tea bag. Leave to infuse for 10 minutes. Discard the tea bag and vanilla pod, tip the fruits and liquid into a non-metallic bowl and pour over the lemon juice. Stir, and then leave to cool. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
