Fruit and jelly baskets are an exquisite dessert inspired by Mediterranean culinary traditions. This region has long valued natural ingredients and the harmonious combination of fruit sweetness with nuts. Each basket is a delicate intertwining of aromatic dried fruits and crunchy nuts forming a dense yet soft base. Inside lies refreshing jelly made from natural fruit puree, adding a hint of tartness to the flavor. This dessert is perfect for festive tables where one wants to surprise guests with something unusual and healthy. The ease of preparation makes it accessible even for beginners, while the natural sweetness and health benefits of the ingredients make it an excellent choice for healthy eating. It’s not just a treat – it’s a true celebration of flavor that unites textures, aromas, and Eastern notes of the Mediterranean.

First, we make the baskets. For this, we chop dried fruits and nuts in a blender or meat grinder. From the resulting mass, we form balls and roll each one to the size of our molds. It is easier to roll by wrapping the ball in plastic wrap. Make the thickness of the layer as you like.
- Dried fruits: 100 g

Place the rolled-out dough with the film into the mold, carefully spread it along the walls, and remove the top part of the film.

We put berries or fruits of your choice in a basket and pour jelly over them. My jelly is from a packet, but if you want it sugar-free, you can make it from fruit puree and gelatin. Soak the gelatin in water to swell, mix it with the heated puree, and pour it into molds.
- Jelly: 10 g
