Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw walnuts
• 1 cup Honey
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup Dried apricots, chopped
• 0.25 cup Golden raisins
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 piece Glass jar with lid (8 oz or larger)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by toasting the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until fragrant. Allow the walnuts to cool completely before assembling.

Step 2

In a clean and sterilized glass jar, layer the toasted walnuts at the bottom.

Step 3

Evenly sprinkle the dried cranberries, chopped dried apricots, and golden raisins over the walnuts in layers or mix them together if preferred.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the honey with the orange zest, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract, stirring until well blended.

Step 5

Pour the honey mixture over the nuts and dried fruits in the jar, ensuring the honey seeps through and coats all the layers.

Step 6

Seal the jar tightly with the lid and decorate it with a ribbon or gift tag if giving it as a gift.

Step 7

Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For best flavor, allow the mixture to sit for a day before use to let the flavors meld together.

Step 8

Serve the topping over yogurt, oatmeal, waffles, or a cheese platter for an added touch of sweetness and texture.
