During a visit to Turkey you should try some dried fruit like these on display at a market in Istanbul. Among the offerings are pineapple, apricots, mango, kavun (ripe melon), zencefil (ginger), ceviz (walnuts) and visne (cherries). Apparently, Turkey in general and Istanbul in particular is a significant exporter of dried fruits and nuts and has an association of over 100 members. So, once you are home, you can still enjoy these treats.
