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.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my compote turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This compote is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I always have a few pieces of fruit that are about to go bad, so I make compote and it's a great way to use them up.

I'm not a fan of the spices in this recipe. I think they overpower the flavor of the fruit.

The compote was a bit too runny for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of liquid next time. Other than that, it was a good recipe.
