Chef tips
For the best results, let the dried fruit soften and the nuts release their rich flavor by soaking the mix in cold water in the fridge for at least 24 hours before serving. For a festive touch, add a splash of rose water or a cinnamon stick to the water. If there's a nut allergy, swap the nuts for toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds for a nice crunch.
