Directions

  1. 1
    ["Make the coconut buttermilk: Place the ingredients in a re-sealable container, secure the lid and shake to combine the coconut milk and lemon juice. Let the container sit for five minutes. Place it in the refrigerator until you're ready to use the buttermilk. Makes 1 cup; it should keep for up to a week.", "Make the rescued dried fruit: In a small saucepan place the dried apricots and cherries, orange juice and honey, and stir to combine. Cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, until the liquid just comes up to a boil.", "Turn off the heat. Scrape the vanilla bean and add both the seeds and scraped bean to the saucepan. Stir the mixture to separate and distribute the vanilla seeds then let it cool in the saucepan.", "Once the mixture has cooled, transfer it to a bowl, cover its surface with plastic wrap and press a plate or smaller bowl on top of it, as a weight. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or, ideally, overnight.", "Drain the soaking orange liquid from the bowl, reserving it for another use, or, if you like a sweeter dessert, you can add some to the \"Mush.\"" Any fruit that isn't used for the \""Mush\"" can be used for yogurt parfaits or an ice cream topping. Makes 1 1/4 cups.""
