We are finishing off the last of our Xinjiang dried fruit. The black coal like things at the upper left are Chinese prunes. Very sweet (the white stuff is powdered sugar) and tasty. To their right is a small bowl of dried apricots. The flavor isn't bad, but the texture is about the same as what you might imagine shoe leather to be. Continuing clockwise, below the apricots are dried figs. The paler a dried fig is, the more expensive it is. However, we should point at that, in general, as prices went up in any given product category, flavor seemed to match it. We got what we paid for, by and large. Finally, in the lower left of the photo are some "yellow" raisins. Some are red, some orange, and some green, but most of them are a shade of yellow. Mellow and sweet, they taste a little like apricots. Cara didn't think they tasted enough like raisins, which is why they were left so long for Michael to eat through them all.
