Ingredients
- 8 large sheets filo pastry
- 50–75 g melted butter
- 140 g liquid glucose
- 1 tsp rosewater
Method
- Cook all filling ingredients together over low heat for about 15 minutes, until very little liquid remains, then cool.
- Heat the oven to 190°C (gas 5). Butter a 20 × 15cm tin and build four buttered filo layers across the base.
- Spread over the cooled fruit mixture and cover with the remaining filo, buttering each sheet. Score the top into diamonds and bake for about 30 minutes until crisp and golden.
- Mix the reserved rosewater with the glucose, drizzle over the cooled pastry and leave for 3–4 hours before cutting.
