Ingredients
- 1 whole banana sliced
- 1 whole small mango peeled, pitted and diced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice to sprinkle
- 1 whole small baking apple coarsely grated
- 6 whole fresh date or dried dates pitted and chopped
- 2 oz dried pineapple chopped
- 1/3 cup seedless golden raisin
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground mixed spice
- 8 each sheets phyllo
- 2 tbsp sunflower oil

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper Toss the banana and mango with lemon juice to prevent discoloration.
- Add the apple, dates, pineapple, raisins, sugar and spice and mix well.
- To make each fruit cluster, cut each sheet of filo pastry in half crosswise to make 2 squares/rectangles (16 squares in total). Lightly brush two squares of pastry with oil and place one on top of the other at a 45° angle.
- Spoon some fruit filling into the center, gather the pastry up over the filling and secure with string. Place the cluster on the prepared baking sheet and lightly brush all over with oil.
- Repeat with the remaining pastry squares and filling to make a total of 8 fruit clusters. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully snip and remove the string from each cluster and serve hot or cold, dusted with sited confectioners' sugar.
