Moroccan Spiced Honey-Drenched Fruit Platter

Allergens

Nuts (Almonds)

Ingredients

• 2 cups mixed seasonal fruit (e.g., apple, pear, grapes, oranges)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1/4 tsp cardamom
• Zest of one orange
• 1/4 cup toasted almonds, roughly chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions

1. Wash and cut the fruit into bite sized pieces, leaving the skin on for added color and texture. Place the fruit in a large mixing bowl.
2. In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the honey until it becomes thin and pourable. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cardamom, and orange zest. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the fruit, tossing gently to coat evenly.
4. Pour the warm honey over the spiced fruit and toss until each piece is glazed with a rich sheen of golden sweetness.
5. Transfer the fruit to a large platter, scattering the toasted almonds on top. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, allowing them to cascade down the sides like vibrant green ribbons.

Chef’s Insight

Allow the honey to warm just enough to be pourable; too hot will cause it to melt the fruit.

Notes

Choose fruits that are in season for optimal flavor and freshness.
