Ingredients

  • 3 cups unsweetened coconut
  • 2 cups walnuts or almonds chopped
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups raisins
  • 1 1/2 cups dried apples
  • 1 1/2 cups prunes or plums
  • 1/2 cup cherry jam or Surinam cherries/ Pitango in Hebrew
  • 1 cup sweet red wine
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, cover the dried fruit with water. Soak overnight in the refrigerator to soften. The next day, finely dice all the fruit.
  • In a large saucepan over low heat, add the ground coconut. Add the wine and bring to a simmer. Add the nuts and sugar. Keep stirring to prevent the coconut from sticking to the pan. 
  • When the wine and coconut mixture is well combined (neither too wet or too dry), add the fruits, continuing to stir until ingredients have come together. Stir in the cherry jam.
  • Remove from heat. Add cinnamon and mix thoroughly. Keep refrigerated until serving.
