REVIEW - Whitworths Fusions (Cinnamon Apple Jumble)

When purchasing my dried figs the other day, I also picked up these new Whitworths Fusions to try. I think they've been out for a while, but I hadn't seen them before and it seems that my local Tesco have only started stocking them fairly recently. It didn't take long for me to get through the figs so, because I can't go too long without my fix of dried fruit, I had to break into these as well.

I bought them for £1.50 but the label didn't state whether this is an introductory offer or permanent. As a huge fan of cinnamon I couldn't say no to the Cinnamon Apple Jumble, which is described by Whitworths as "a delicious jumble of chopped dates, cinnamon apple pieces, pecan halves and golden raisins." If that doesn't sound delectable to you, then they also had Fusions Coconutty, Fusions Berryfruits and Fusions Chilli and Cocoa to choose from.

A jumble of delights

REVIEW - Whitworths Dried Figs

So, here I am, kicking off my adventure into the world of blogging with a review of... a packet of dried figs. 'Whitworths Soft Smyrna Figs' to be precise, but figs nonetheless. Maybe dried fruit isn't the epitome of snacking for most but if you're anything like me (aka a dried fruit fiend), then these may well be right up your street.

I haven't always had an easy relationship with dried fruit - I think the only dried fruits I touched throughout childhood were the small packets of raisins that my mum always managed to sneak into my lunch-box when I was in primary school. That, and I probably encountered some when I was eating a hot cross bun or a toasted teacake. It was only a few years ago that I became aware of what I was missing out on and since then I have done my best to make up for lost time! Dried figs have always been on my 'to try' list but until now they've never managed to make it into my basket.
