Normally i soak my dried fruits in rum, but this time i soaked them in a cup of a strong coffee and it gave the fruits a subtle coffee flavour and tasted so delicious. More important it will make your house smell divine.
Make this for your friends, family, or your kids school teacher and enjoy the joy of gifting. Happy Holidays!
