Baking with Dried Fruit
Dates, raisins and mixed fruit provide flavour, moisture and texture.
Things to remember
- Chop large fruits to distribute them evenly.
- Soak very dry dates where the method calls for it.
- Fold in fruit gently so the batter remains balanced.
Put this into practice
Try these habits when following a home recipe. Pay close attention to what your ingredients look and feel like, and use the recipe’s timing as a guide rather than the only measure of success.
