Something I love about Winter is cooking with dried fruit. Whether it be with Pork, warm Winter puddings like Sticky Date, or baked apples stuffed with all sorts of things. The other thing I love is combining dried fruit with fresh fruit and spices and making something comforting like this dish. So easy cooked in the Steam Oven which will retain the nutrients, and with no added sugar this recipe is bound to be a favourite!
Ingredients:
3 Pears, peeled and quartered
A few peelings of orange rind
3 Star Anise
2 Cinnamon sticks, broken
8 Dried Figs, soften with boiling water poured over for 1/2 hour before cooking OR extra 5 minutes first in the Steam Oven
Handful of Prunes
Juice 2 Oranges
Method:
- Place everything in a solid steamer tray. Make sure that the star anise and cinnamon are covered with liquid. Cook at 100°C for 10 minutes or until soft.
- Pour into a large bowl to serve.
Great for breakfast or dessert. Delicious served with perhaps a Sheep’s Milk or Vanilla Yoghurt.
A split Vanilla Bean would also be an lovely addition as would also be some fresh dates!
