Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup dried apricot, each cut into thirds (8 ounces)
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3 slices lemon peel, each 3-inch x 1-inch
1 cinnamon stick, 3-inch long
4 cups unsweetened apple juice (or unsweetened apple cider)
1 cup dried pitted prunes, each cut in half (8 ounces)
1/2 cup dried tart cherry (4 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, mix together dried apricots, brown sugar, lemon peel, cinnamon stick, and unsweetened apple juice or cider; bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture to a large dish or bowl; and mix in dried pitted prunes, dried tart cherries, and vanilla extract. Allow compote to cool completely; then remove lemon peel and cinnamon stick, cover, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours--or up to a week (compote thickens, and flavor develops, during fridge time).
  • Stir compote before serving.

This dried fruit compote is fantastic! The flavors are so rich and complex and the fruit is perfectly tender. I love that it's not too sweet, so the natural flavors of the fruit really shine through.
