This sounds yummy

I think this would be good with any dried fruit. It does sound like it takes a bit of monitoring during cooking to baste and make sure the fruit doesn't dry out. The flavors sound yummy though. It looks pretty easy to prepare. Mix up the glaze, add the fruit, stick it in the oven.

I subscribed to AllRecipes.com daily dish e-mail. They send a new recipe to my inbox every day. Most of them are not appealing to me, but I'll post the ones that sound good. I like to try new recipes and get ideas for my own adaptations. Trying new stuff is the only thing that makes cooking bearable!
