Really, Truly Gorgeous Dried Fruit Salad

Recipesfull introduces to you: Fruit Salad Recipes. (Really, Truly Gorgeous Dried Fruit Salad). A really, truly gorgeous dried fruit salad that i serve in the evenings to share with my mum and sisters over a good movie. I use organic pine nuts, and rain forest honey... of course, you don't have to, but sometimes these little touches help, I think. Add the pine nuts however much or little you like 'em, about 2 ounces is good for me. I serve this in sundae glasses, to show off the fruit, with plain yogurt and a sprinkling of Demerara sugar.
