Place all the ingredients in the food processor with the chopping blade and blitz for a few seconds. Personally, I don’t like it smooth, I rather like to see the pieces of fruit and nuts.

Adjust the spices and add more syrup to sweeten, if you feel it’s necessary. Place in a clean bowl and cover and keep it in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
