DRIED FRUIT COMPOTE



Dried Fruit Compote image

This is an absolute go-to dish for people taking pain medication. Why? Because many pain meds, especially opiates, can stop up the works, if you get my meaning. This isn't your typical fiber-laden, tasteless concoction. (Can you say bran muffin?) In addition to prunes, the traditional remedy, this compote also includes dried apricots and cherries, and we've also brought ginger and cardomom to the party. The result is a delicious compote that smells incredible while it's cooking and goes great over oatmeal or on toast. For those days when you need a kick start, this blend will nudge you in the right direction. Believe me, it works. Before cooking the compote, it's best to soak the fruit for a few hours, or preferably overnight, so plan ahead. This is great served warm or at room temperature.

Yield makes 4 to 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup pitted prunes
1 cup unsulfured dried apricots
1 cup dried cherries or raisins
3 cinnamon sticks
6 cardamom pods, or 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger, or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch of sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine the prunes, apricots, cherries, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and salt in a saucepan and add water to cover. Soak overnight, if possible, or for a few hours before cooking.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat and gently simmer for about 1 hour, until the fruit is very, very soft and the liquid is syrupy. Stir in the lemon juice and remove from the heat. Remove and discard the cinnamon sticks.
  • Goes with Best Oatmeal Ever (page 128), Creamy Millet (page 136), and Creamiest Buckwheat (page 138).
  • You can use dried apples, pears, figs, or any combination of dried fruit to equal 3 cups.
  • The compote is a versatile condiment that crosses culinary boundaries and can be used on both sweet and savory dishes. Stir it into yogurt, spoon it alongside a sweet potato, or serve it atop oatmeal. You can even use it like jam: spread a dollop on a piece of toast with almond butter.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 7 days or in the freezer for 2 months.

DRIED FRUIT COMPOTE WITH FRESH APPLE AND PEAR



Dried Fruit Compote With Fresh Apple and Pear image

An alcohol-free compote with a variety of dried fruit and a bright flavor. This compote, which I like to add to my morning yogurt, does not involve wine, though you could add some red or white wine for flavor if you wanted to. The sweetness will vary with the type of fruit used. If you use dried sour cherries, don't use too many, because they will give the compote too stronga sour cherry flavor. Sweet fruit, like dried apples, pears and raisins, will result in a compote with a brighter taste. Apricots are great too, contributing another rich taste layer. I add fresh apple and pear for their texture, which remains somewhat crunchy even after they simmer.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of dried fruits. This will give your compote a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include apricots, cherries, cranberries, figs, peaches, and raisins.
  • Choose dried fruits that are plump and moist. Avoid any that are dry or shriveled.
  • Rinse the dried fruits before using. This will remove any dirt or debris.
  • Soak the dried fruits in hot water for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to rehydrate them and make them more tender.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot to cook the compote. This will help to prevent the fruit from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Bring the compote to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the fruit to soften.
  • Serve the compote warm or cold. It can be enjoyed on its own, or used as a topping for yogurt, pancakes, or ice cream.
