Fig, Date and Cashew Salad

Fruit salad made with diced fresh figs from Sainsbury's, stoned Deglet Nour dates, unsalted cashews, mixed in a Greek yoghurt. Two minutes to prepare, and delicious! Works well also with almonds instead of cashews. Also good with a dash of cinnamon. 

 

Apple and Fig Salad, with Pomegranate Molasses, and Single Cream

A straightforward fruit salad, with chopped apple and figs, soused in pomegranate molasses for a couple of hours, stirring occasionally. You can add some white wine also, if you wish.  Once decanted into the serving bowl, add the single cream, and stir. Delicious!

 I'm learning a lot about how my camera responds to colours. In tungsten or fluorescent lighting it converts to something like a daylight rendering (which is great). However green, purple and magenta are poorly represented. In real daylight it overdoes blue.
