Fruit Salad With Honey, Figs And Dates

Frugal-Recipes-n-More@yahoogroups.com Source: from "A Feast from the Mideast" by Faye Levy as seen in the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles story by Judy Bart Kancigor submitted by Judy on Sat 09/15/2007 Kathy’s Notes: Really good. And easy. What a simple sauce to go over any kind of fresh fruit. Couldn’t find fresh figs – used dried. Also added in two plums. Didn’t use almonds. Just realized I didn't add the water to the sauce either. Frugal - The figs and dates probably aren't all that frugal, but you can substitute any type of fruit and/or dried fruit in their place.
