Macerated Fruit image

This recipe, adapted from a classic by cookbook author Claudia Roden, is a longtime personal favorite. It becomes heavenly if you add a little rose and/or orange flower water.

Yield makes at least 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound assorted dried fruit: apricots, pears, peaches, prunes, raisins, etc.
1/4 cup pine nuts or slivered blanched almonds
1 1/2 teaspoons rose water (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons orange flower water (optional)
1/4 cup sugar, or to taste
Sour cream or crème fraîche

Steps:

  • Combine everything but the sour cream in a bowl and add water to cover. Stir and let sit, at room temperature, for at least 6 hours. The fruit is ready when it is soft and the liquid is syrupy.
  • To serve, put some fruit in a bowl and garnish with sour cream.
