A lovely pastry/cookie which is simple to make, lovely to look at and really delicious. I substituted marsala for the vin santo and left out the nuts. I used exactly the dried fruit mixture suggested (raisins, apricots, cherries and prunes) and a granny smith apple. Once I had filled and rolled the pastry, I chilled it briefly which made it easier to slice. I baked my cookies on a silpat and painted the glaze on the cookies right on the silpat. The cookies are really pretty and really delicious. The only difficulty in the recipe is that you must plan ahead--the chopped fruit must macerate overnight. I look forward to experimenting with other combinations of fruit/nuts and other dessert wines or liqueurs.
