I offered before but no response so I was keeping my head down!!! But still happy to....

Just in case any of you are being told to eat more dried fruit (it seems that dieticians are obsessed with it for vegetarians) (that and broccoli).. here's a recipe I typed out earlier. I know it's nothing to do with pregnancy strictly but you might like it nonetheless

1 orange
1 lemon
9 fl oz unsweetened apple juice
6 whole cardamon pods lightly crushed
6 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
13oz dried fruit whatever you like. I used some rather dismal-looking (black!) apricots, left over cranberries, raisins, pears and peaches
3 tbsp sugar (reduce a little if you used apple juice with sugar in)

Cut the rind off the lemon and orange and add to pan. Add the juice of both. Add juice and 750ml of water. Add the fruit. Bring to boil, then turn the heat off and leave it for an hour. Return to heat, add the sugar and cook for five mins or until all the fruit is soft. The recipe says to remove the fruit with a slotted spoon and simmer the juice down for another five mins, but I don't bother. Remove cinnamon stick. Serve warm or cold, lush with natural yogurt. Just don't crunch down on a cardamon or you'll know about it!

Keeps for at least a week in the fridge covered. Makes a large bowl full.
