Here are my recipes with fruit and dried fruit: apples, pears, plums, apricots, bananas, pineapple, citrus, prunes and raisins. A good place to start is sharlotka, our favorite apple cake, or apple strudel with raisins and rum.
Most of my fruit baking is with apples, and they should be firm and a little tart — soft ones fall apart. That’s what I use for tarte Tatin and American apple pie. Sharlotka I also bake with plums and with pears.
Roast duck stuffed with apples and rice, pork ribs braised with prunes, chicken thighs baked with pineapple and cheese and tkemali sauce from cherry plums.
Plum jam, thick apricot jam and tangerine jam, which I make in December.
