i have purchased this in a wedge in Europe for years. NOT a fan of candied fruit, I seem to remember dates/figs, or other chewy goodness. I'd like to try it with organic dried fruit soaked in brandy or other liquor. would you suggest chopping the fruit fairly small, soaking it, and then straining/draining, and letting dry for awhile? Not usually a date/fig fan, the combo of chewy, not too sweet, and lots of yummy nuts often sits in our freezer for months before I find it: just a small wedge with tea in the afternoon is the pick-me-up that is soooo NOT English. Believe I've purchased the best in Funchal, Portugal, but, as with so many items, it depends on one's taste. YUM! Now all I have to do is get well so I can get to cooking!!! I've never tried pan forte with soaked fruit. I think it would be too wet. Give it a try and let us all know the results. Frank @ KAF.
