Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 piece (2 inches) peeled fresh ginger, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
3 green cardamom pods, crushed with the flat side of a large knife, seeds reserved and pods discarded
2 tea bags, English breakfast or other black tea
6 ounces (about 1 cup) dried apricots, halved
2 ounces (about 1/3 cup) dried black figs, stemmed and quartered
1/4 cup sugar
Plain whole-milk yogurt, preferably Greek, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring 2 cups water, the ginger, fennel seeds, and cardamom seeds to a boil in a small saucepan. Add tea bags; remove from heat. Let stand 3 minutes. Remove bags with a slotted spoon and discard.
  • Add apricots, figs, and sugar to tea mixture in pan. Return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, partially covered, until fruits are tender and liquid is reduced to a thick syrup, 20 to 25 minutes. Compote can be served warm or at room temperature. Serve yogurt on the side, with a little of the syrup drizzled on top.
