It’s easier than ever to find soft and tender dried fruit, the intense flavor and texture of many of the varieties available go well with cooked bananas, but if you can’t find any dried mangoes, then dates, prunes, or apricots are all good substitutes.

Ingredients

  • cup (150 mL) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50
