How to make it
- Wash the apricots and both raisins and place in a bowl - cover with cold water to 5cm above the fruit.
- Put the walnuts, pistachos and almonds in another bowl or pan and add boiling water.
- Leave to soak, and then peel off all the skins as they soften.
- This is a fiddly job and make take some time - but it's definitely worth the effort!
- Throw away the water.
- Combine the fruits with the nuts and cherries, including the juice they have been soaking in.
- Add the rose water, cover the mixture and leave in the fridge to rest for two days.
- When you leave the mix, the juice will become sweeter and syrupy, giving the dish a really unique consistency.
- To serve, spoon the fruit, nuts and juice into individual bowls or cups, and enjoy!
