Sweet Mustard Fruits

Sweet, sharp, and fruity, this is one of my favourite recipes to accompany a glazed ham.

Ingredients

• 500 gram selection of dried fruit (apricots, figs, prunes, apples)
• 3 firm ripe pears, peeled and thickly sliced

Method

In a large saucepan, put the dried fruit, pears, pineapple, lychees and syrup, white wine, apricot sauce sugar, vinegar, sugar and mustard and stir together.

Stir the apricot sauce through the fruit.

Cool a little before transferring to a serving dish to be served warm or cold.
