Dried Fruit Breakfast with Vanilla Yoghurt

Ingredients
500g (1 lb.) of Dried fruits

Use a mixture of some of the following.
- Apricots
- Prunes (without stones)
- Figs
- Large Muscatel rasins (stoned)
- Dates (which you will have to stone your self)

For Vanilla Yoghurt
- 1 tub of Plain Yoghurt (250g) preferably Greek Yoghurt or Fromage Frais.
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Castor Sugar.

Method
To prepare the fruits, cover them with water and bring them to a very gentle simmer. Simmer them slowly until soft and tender. I find the best thing to do is to hover over them with a slotted spoon and remove each fruit as it is ready, they do vary depending which brand you use The prunes are usually soft first and the figs take longest.

Put the fruits and the liquid into the fridge and serve cold, they will last several days covered in the fridge.

Serve with the vanilla yoghurt which is made just by whisking the ingredients together. If you can find some low fat yoghurt or fromage frais this is the basis for a very healthy breakfast.
