Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup dried apricot
- ½ cup pitted prunes
- ½ cup dried mango
- ½ cup dried hibiscus flowers ((can be easily found in most Hispanic grocery stores, sometimes labeled as “flor de jamaica”))

- 4 tablespoons chili lime seasoning ((like Tajín))
- 2 tablespoons lime juice ((about 1 lime))
Instructions

In a medium saucepan or pot, add water, dried apricots, prunes, dried mango, dried hibiscus flowers, granulated sugar, and chili lime seasoning. Bring to a boil.

Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
