During the holy month of Ramadan, my mom introduced me to Khoshaf- A wonderfully light dried fruit & nut salad, infused with raisins and apricots; poached in a fragrant syrup.
This is a very traditional Middle Eastern dessert, full of nutritional benefits & a great way to jazz up a brunch, afternoon snack, or even desert!
A unique and delicate combination of flavours
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup yellow raisins
1/2 cup sultanas
1/2 cup dried apricots
1/2 cup dried figs
1/2 cup almonds
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup walnut
1/4 cup simple sugar syrup / 2 TBSP Sugar
1 TBSP orange Blossom
Add any dried fruit you like (this is just the traditional recipe)
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix the nuts and fruits in a big bowl & rinse thoroughly.
Strain the mixture to remove any excess liquid.
Once strained, add the mixture to the serving bowl
Add either the syrup or the sugar & enough water to cover just over 1cm of the mixture.
Add the orange blossom, mix well & let the mixture poach over night.
If you find the dried fruit has soaked up all the water, add a little more.
GARNISH
1/4 cup Pomegranate seeds
1/4 cup Pistachio
1/4 cup Pumpkin seeds
RECIPE NOTES
If you have brought raw almonds- you should boil them for about 5 minutes on a low heat to ease the skin off.
An easy way to remove Almond skin is by rubbing them with your fingertips against each other.
The mixture will last 1 week in fridge, in a sealed Tupperware box.
Serve chilled, with Feta or any preferred cheese, bread sticks, or even over porridge.
