Dried Fruit Compote With Chevre image

Mound this wine-scented and herb-flavored fruit mixture over a round of fresh chevre (goat cheese) and accompany the colorful creation with thin slices of French baguette or mild flavored crackers. No need to follow the dried fruit quantities or choices exactly; use about 1 ½ cups total fruit, taking into account that a colorful variety will make the most stunning presentation.

This recipe was a disaster! The compote never thickened and the chevre curdled. I do not recommend this recipe.

I'm not sure about this recipe. The compote was a little too sweet for my taste and the chevre was a bit too tangy.
