How to Make Dried Fruit Salad

  1. Rinse 2 cups of dried apricots, 1 cup of dried figs, 1 cup of dried cranberries, and 1/2 cup of raisins thoroughly under cold water. Pat completely dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the dried apricots, figs, cranberries, and raisins.
  3. Add 2 cups of water (or more, as needed, to cover the fruit completely).
  4. Stir well to ensure all fruit is submerged. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, or up to 48 hours, to allow the fruit to plump and soften. The longer it sits, the better the flavors will meld!
  5. Serve chilled. Garnish with fresh mint leaves (optional) for an extra touch of freshness.
