Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- If the dried fruit is very firm, soak in hot water for 10 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels.
- Lightly toast the walnuts in a dry pan for 3-4 minutes, then let cool.
- In a food processor, grind the walnuts with the sugar (or honey), cinnamon and cardamom into a fine crumb, then into a sticky paste.
- Through the opening left by the pit, stuff each piece of dried fruit with a teaspoon of the walnut filling, and gently press the fruit closed around it.
- Arrange on a plate and serve. Keeps for weeks in an airtight container.
