Dried Fruit Dessert
Courtesy of Daphna Serves 12-15
This is an excellent and tasty recipe that makes use of dried out vanilla beans, particularly those stored in the refrigerator or freezer. As Bakto Flavors vanilla beans are kosher for Passover, this is also a favorite Passover recipe.

250 gm prunes (about 9 ounces)

100 gm raisins (about 3.5 ounces)

250 gm apricots (about 9 ounces)

2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced

100 gm blanched almonds (about 3.5 ounces)

1 cup brown sugar

4 whole cloves

1 cinnamon stick

1 whole Bakto Flavors Vanilla Bean

3-4 liters water (3-4 quarts) (It may be necessary to add water while cooking as water boils off.)

  • Add 1 liter (quart) water and brown sugar to a large pot. Slowly heat and stir until sugar dissolves.
  • Add remaining ingredients, except apple, cover all with water, and bring to boil.
  • Reduce to low heat and cook for approximately ½ hour, until all fruit is soft.
  • Add the apple slices and cook until soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Chill, and serve cold.
