Modern Redaction
Ingredients:
150g dried figs, chopped
130g seedless raisins
2 medium apples, peeled and cored
2 medium pears, peeled and cored
230ml white wine
6 tsp
gode powdor
1 egg
200g white flour
Method:
After chopping, soak the figs and raisins in the wine for at least two hours. At this time drain the fruit from the wine, add the apples and pears and mash to a coarse paste (or use a food processor to purée). Add the remaining ingredients and mix well (if the mixture is a little too thick add some of the soaking wine).
Heat some butter in a pan and drop about a tablespoon-full of the fruit mixture into the pan. Fry until golden brown on each side and serve dusted with coarse brown sugar.
