2 tbs. raisins
2 dried apricots
1 1/2 cups Silk Light Vanilla
cinnamon

Directions

1. Chop nuts and fruit and layer in two bowls.

This hardly counts as a recipe but we had everything in the house and I like updating my blog with recipes so why not. I only made one serving thought, my mother had left over fruit cocktail. It was good, so simple but I would not have thought of it on my own.
