    Ingredients

    • 200g mixed dried fruit, chopped
    • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
    • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
    • 1 tsp brown sugar
    • 1 tsp water
    • 2 large pears, cored and halved
    • ¼ cup macadamia nuts, chopped

    Method

    1. Step 1

      In a bowl, combine dried fruit, nutmeg, cinnamon, sugar and water.
