Savory, crunchy biscotti with chewy dried fruit. For the amount of work, I suggest you double the recipe to begin with.

Notes

*Note to self: When I bake in my Paris oven, 190 seemed too hot. Took it out at 22 minutes & seemed slightly darker than it should be. Next time try turning it down 10°?

So good. Definitely include dried apricots – they get tangier when baked. Same with cranberries.  Dried apples could be good too.

Tried pineapple & mango and they weren’t as good. Fine, but not necessarily worth it.
