A number of years ago, I was given an imposing – looking tray of dried fruit, and as I dug into it ( I like dried fruit ) I found that the most fancy ones were “fluffed up” by more pleb product, and that in the end. I felt short-changed. I thought then that I would make them for the store, with no fluff – just the best stuff – and right to the bottom. This will be our 6th year making these. They are great just for yourself, family sharing or as a pretty imposing hostess gift!
