Notes

This fruit dip will keep, in an airtight container, in the fridge for 4 days.
What's a hot soak? You may have heard that cashews need to be soaked for 4+ hours but in fact, if you start them in just boiled water, they’ll be fully hydrated in 30 minutes flat! Bring the kettle to a boil, place the cashews in a heat proof bowl, and once boiled, carefully pour enough water over the cashews to cover.
