Why saffron? This seems too fancy for just fruit. Can we tone it down a bit for a normal recipe? Anyone agree?
I get where you’re coming from, but saffron can really elevate the dish. It’s not just fancy, it adds unique flavor!
Seriously? Saffron just makes it too much. Just fruit is better, no need for fancy stuff!
Didn’t turn out great for me. The fruit was still kind of tough and the flavors were just okay. Maybe I did something wrong? ⭐⭐
Delish! I had it over pancakes and it’s a game changer! Will make again for sure.
Quick question, can I use fresh fruit instead? Seems like dried fruit is a bit different and I don’t have any. 🤔
Yum! I added some nuts on top and it was amazing! So much flavor. Saffron is my new favorite ingredient!
I messed up and used fresh fruit instead of dried. Didn’t turn out well… 🥴
Fresh fruit? That’s a big no-no for this recipe! Dried all the way! 🥴
This was absolutely delicious! The saffron really takes it to another level. I’ll definitely make this again!
I tried this too! The saffron gives a nice twist. It’s yum! 😋
Too sweet for me with the honey, could maybe use less. Otherwise, not bad! 📉
Saffron? Really? That’s pretty fancy. I just used some vanilla instead and it was alright. Not sure if it’s worth the effort. ⭐⭐⭐
This recipe is so unique! I’ve never thought of using saffron with fruit before. Absolutely loved it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I dunno about mixing saffron with fruit. Isn’t saffron for savory dishes mostly? 🤔
This sounds delicious! Saffron really elevates the flavor, I can’t wait to try it out!
Tasted amazing on pancakes! Will definitely make it again, thanks for the recipe! 🍓👍
Not sure what all the hype is about. It was okay, but nothing special. I mean, just fruits and syrup?
