Coyol en Miel - Pembrokeshire Style

Ingredients

In this Pembrokeshire adaptation, we substitute the traditional coyol fruit with a locally available fruit, such as the ripe plums or apples found in the region. The honey used in the syrup is sourced from Pembrokeshire's own beekeepers, adding a distinct floral note to the dish. Additionally, we incorporate Pembrokeshire's unique spices and herbs to enhance the flavor profile, giving it a delightful twist.
