Serves 5-6
Ingredients:
7½ cup (550g) mixed dried fruit, such as prunes, apricots, figs, apples, pears and peaches
2 tbsp sherry
juice ½ lemon
2 tbsp clear honey
½ cinnamon stick
4 tbsp brandy
¾ cup (85g) toasted almond flakes
½ cup (55g) walnuts, coarsely chopped
chilled single (light) cream or ice cream, to serve
Method:
- Soak druit overnight in 2½ cup (625ml) water and the sherry.
- Put fruit and soaking liquid into a saucepan with lemon juice, honey and cinnamon stick. Cover and simmer on a low heat until fruit is just tender. Discard cinnamon stick, transfer fruit to serving dish and keep warm.
- In a small pan, heat brandy and set alight. While still flaming, pour it over the fruit. Scatter with almonds and walnuts and serve immediately, with cream or ice cream.
Note: The effect of flaming brandy is to burn off the alcohol and so concentrate the flavour. It is important to warm brandy first or it will not set alight.
It was really good, but for some reason I was disappointed by the flames. They weren't as spectacular as I thought they'd be.
This is superb dish! I really like it. Thanks for the share!

Loved this stuff! Made it twice and it was better the second time around with the addition of an extra cup of marshmallows. Will be making this for the next carry-in at work.
This is a good recipe, but my version uses rootbeer schnapps instead of amaretto. Be careful
So good and so healthy! :) The different textures are wonderful! I would advise not letting sit for very long before serving, as it looks the best just mixed.
I tried this recipe "as is" and then made it again with half the coconut and half the spices. Much better in my opinion with just half of these ingredients.
Delicious! Served this at a lunch meeting and had to email the recipe to everyone in attendance! I could eat this at every meal! (As other reviewers stated, I also couldn't find honey roasted almonds. I used Brown Sugar Almonds and they worked great!)
It's great to know that even in comments like this h1 code is working.
Looks and sounds delicious .
I love the recipe . I need to have some great recipes like this one that can be done in no time flat.Thank you.
