Time 45m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 pound each dried pears, figs, apricots and peaches
1 cup pitted prunes
1/2 cup raisins
3 cups water
1 cup pitted cherries
2 apples, peeled, cored and sliced, or 6 ounces dried apples
1/2 cup cranberries
1 lemon, sliced
6 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
1/2 to 1 cup sugar
1 orange, preferably a navel orange
1/2 cup seedless grapes
1/2 cup fruit-flavored brandy or fruit juice

Steps:

  • Bring the six kinds of dried fruit and the water to a boil in a large, heavy saucepan. Simmer gently about 20 minutes, until the fruit is plump and tender.
  • Add the cherries, apples, cranberries, lemon, cloves, cinnamon sticks and sugar to taste. Cover and simmer 5 minutes.
  • Grate the orange, reserving the grated peel. Peel off the rest of the skin and divide the orange into segments. Add them along with the grapes and brandy. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
  • Add reserved grated orange peel and let the mixture stand for 15 minutes. Serve warm or chilled.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I had a bunch of berries that were starting to go bad, and this compote was the perfect way to use them up.

This compote was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
