Ingredients.

600g good-quality ready-to-eat dried fruits (such as prunes, pears, apricots, figs, cranberries)

3 tbsp clear honey

1 vanilla pod, split lengthways

1 Earl Grey tea bag

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

mascarpone or Greek yogurt, to serve

Method.

Tip the fruits and 700ml/11⁄4 pints cold water into a large saucepan. Add the honey and vanilla, scraping the seeds from the pod into the pan. Bring to the boil. Stir well, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until slightly syrupy.
