This recipe adds a fruity dimension to the all-time favourite dry fruit roll! Freshly-made pineapple puree and cashews and cooked into a katli like mixture, which is then shaped into cylinders and rolled in assorted chopped dry fruits.

While the base roll has a rich and fruity flavour, the outer layer of nuts and dry fruits adds an exciting crunch and more flavours to it.

The Fresh Pineapple and Dry Fruit Roll is a real sweet treat, which will be loved by young and old alike. It stays good for two days, if refrigerated.

This recipe is awesome...Made it on this raksha bandhan and everyone just loved it. Recipe is really easy to follow. Addition of fresh fruit makes this all time favourite sweet healthier. Lots of thanks to Tarla Mam for this recipe as it made my rakshabandhan very special this time.
