If your drawers contain dried fruits such as dates, apricots, figs, cranberries as well as almonds, you are ready to convert them into a yummy treat. Port marinated dried fruit is a delicious companion for your cheese. (Even though someone only feasted on the cheese – see who at end of this post…)
Cheese, port and dried fruit – what’s not to like?!

Someone in particular licked her lips. My dog Lea. She was right on the spot when I went into the kitchen for a short while – suddenly the brie and the danablu (Danish blue mould) had gone…
“Although dry fruits are calorie-dense, they offer a satisfying and nutrient-dense option for curbing cravings and staying full between meals.”
Yes, they do. With or without cheese 😀
I think I may try this using dried blueberries! I throw dried blueberries in just about anything I can get an excuse to!
Hi James,
That sounds like a really good idea as well. Dried sea buckthorn – if you have these – would probably also be an idea.
Good luck!
