If dicing and blending dried fruit seems an impossible task for you our one-of-a-kind dried fruit mix will save you a load of time. Our Spectacular Diced Fruit Mix includes our semi sun-dried figs, apricots, peaches, pears, citrus and candied lemon (in quince sugar syrup) all from our orchard and other families we work with from across the Riverland.
UPDATED RECIPES 4 March 2025 using our Spectacular Dice Dried Fruit Mix. I hope you love them all :
- No bake CHOCOLATE FRUIT AND NUT ENERGY BARS: Frankie is anaphylactic for peanuts and so many store bought bars are either full of peanuts and/or way too many rolled oats. I wanted to try make something simple with our Spectacular diced fruit and Sticky Quince Syrup.
- Belinda Jeffery's Last Minute Christmas cake doesn't have to be last minute at all and is a truly wonderful fruit cake or it can be used as a pudding. The recipe is a big one - making 4 x 1kg cakes. So I generally half the recipe (and make 2 cakes) and use the 500g bake of diced fruit mix and 100g of the citrus peel (you can use less if you want less of the citrus flavour). I also included one tablespoon of Sticky Quince syrup to the fruit mix. Here is a reel of me making the cakes.
- I made Sophie Hansen's baked porridge recipe, changing is up a bit by including apple (2 cups), rhubarb (1 cup), our diced fruit mix ( 3/4 cup) and a dash of sticky quince syrup. Here's is Sophie's recipe to have a go.
- Eccles Cakes from Darren Purchese, expert guest on Masterchef and a judge on The Great Australian Bake Off. You can see my reel here where I used our diced fruit mix, these cakes were a total dessert pleaser, especially with the kids.
- the Ultimate Rhubarb Fruit Crumble Oh my goodness the tang… sharpness.. texture… sweetness and spice was pretty perfect. You can check out my reel here to see how I assembled the crumble layers and my rather loud excitement upon serving.
- Our Fig and Orange mincemeat which might be a Christmas favourite but try folding the fruit mince through vanilla ice-cream, it's a winner all year round.
- The popular Mrs T's very lovely boiled fruitcake recipe.
- My take on Emiko Davies Italian bread pudding (pinza di pane) and also her sensational Pan Del Doge Di Zaira (Zaira's Fruit Cake) (please note that on the HUnter and Folk page they have forgotten to list 100g of granulated sugar in the ingredients list). In both recipes I replaced the fruit listed with the equivalent weight of our diced fruit mix. Stunning.
- Dried fruit and orange scrolls
- A crowd favourite Chocolate Fruit and Almond Protein balls
- I haven't personally made this recipe yet (Healthy homemade muesli bar slice recipe) but a lovely subscribers sent it to me saying she replaced the dried fruit quantities with our spectacular dice fruit mix.
