½ cup goji berries
¾ cup blueberries
4 tbsp pomegranate juice
1 tbsp lemon juice
Tart shell
½ cup walnuts
½ cup cashews

Method:
Filling
Simmer apricots and goji berries in the water, on low heat, covered, for about 20 minutes or until the apricots are plump and tender, stirring regularly to keep from sticking.
Place stewed fruit mixture, blueberries and juice in a high-powered blender and blend until smooth and pudding-like.
Tart shell
Grind nuts and rolled oats with the date and coconut rolls or dates and coconut. Press into the bottom of a pie or tart pan.
Spread filling evenly over crust and chill.
Arrange sliced fruit on top of chilled filling and sprinkle with coconut.
