It is necessary
-
- 800 grams of dried apricots;
- 400 grams of prunes;
- 150 grams of walnuts;
- 150 grams of honey.
Instructions
Step 1
To make the roll juicy and tasty, choose the right dried fruit. Dried apricots should not be too bright, dark orange or yellow-brown, rather firm (but not rubbery) and not too transparent. Dried apricots can become too bright after coloring and processing with sulfur dioxide, it slightly stains your hands. The prunes should be dull black, not shiny.
Step 2
Wash dried apricots and prunes, peel them (pitted fruits contain more nutrients). To evaporate sulfurous acid, which is often fumigated with fruits to destroy harmful organisms, soak dried apricots and prunes for an hour in boiled water, then rinse thoroughly.
Step 3
Pass dried apricots through a meat grinder or chop finely. Chop the prunes separately. To make the dish sweeter, you can use raisins instead of prunes. Peel the walnuts from the shell and partitions, chop.
Step 4
If you make a roll in the cold season, you will have to use candied honey. It's too hard for a roll, so preheat it in a bain-marie. Place a pot of boiling water on the stove, place a smaller cup in it. Pour water into a small cup and place a jar of honey. Gradually, the honey will melt. Do not allow honey to overheat; when the temperature rises to 40 ° C, it loses useful substances.
Step 5
Spread plastic wrap on a baking sheet or large tray. Lay out a layer of dried apricots and spread it evenly, pressing with a spoon or hand. Next, lay out a layer of prunes or raisins, also pressing with your hands.
Step 6
Spread the chopped walnuts evenly over the surface, then pour honey over the entire surface. Honey is necessary for the layers to be viscous enough and not to break down.
Step 7
Roll up the roll gently, supporting the edges of the film. When the edges are in place, carefully remove the foil and transfer the roll to the foil. Leave it in the freezer overnight - take it out in the morning and cut it with a damp hot knife. Such a roll of prunes and dried apricots can be stored for a long time in the freezer without losing taste and nutritional properties.
