Tutti frutti

You are no doubt familiar with tutti frutti, a mix of dried fruits usually consisting of apple, apricot and plum. You can eat it as is, but it’ll be even tastier if you give the fruits a twist from the Big Green Egg. After soaking the fruit overnight, enrich the liquid in which you have soaked the apples with delicious flavourings while heating it in your kamado. This will give it an amazing taste. Next, add the fruit and your tutti frutti is ready!

METHOD

1. Place the charcoal in the Big Green Egg and heat it to 220°C with the Stainless Steel Grid. Meanwhile, drain the apple wedges and collect the soaking liquid. Drain the apricots and plums too. Halve the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the pulp.
2. Add the apple soaking liquid, vanilla pulp and pod, sugar and cardamom pods to the Green Dutch Oven and place the pan on the grid. Close the lid of the EGG and bring the liquid to the boil. Meanwhile, add a small splash of water to the corn starch and stir to form a paste.
3. Mix the corn starch paste into the cooking liquid to bind the mixture. Remove the Dutch oven from the EGG and add the soaked apple wedges, apricots and plums to the liquid. Finally, stir in the ginger syrup and serve the tutti frutti lukewarm or at room temperature.
