This week, we are working on a small grant for the holidays. This Monday, honey with dried fruits.
As the holidays approach, it is time to present small gifts, which we can give to guests for Christmas dinner or New Year’s Eve. With dried fruits we start with honey at a very early stage.

You can also use boiled and dried coconut, raisins, sunflower seeds…
Bake the dried fruits in the oven (place on a plate for eight to ten minutes in a 180 degree oven) or in a saucepan. In any case, be careful when roasting, as dried fruits can burn like caramel if left unchecked.
Place them in each pot, right up to the edge. Fill the jars slowly, to prevent overflowing, allow time for the honey to drip between the dried fruits, and allow air to escape. Let it cool well. This dried fruit honey with yoghurt or cottage cheese, with a very sweet fruit salad (eg orange salad with cinnamon or cardamom), with brioche, pancakes…
