DRIED FRUIT COMPOTE WITH FRESH APPLE AND PEAR



Dried Fruit Compote With Fresh Apple and Pear image

An alcohol-free compote with a variety of dried fruit and a bright flavor. This compote, which I like to add to my morning yogurt, does not involve wine, though you could add some red or white wine for flavor if you wanted to. The sweetness will vary with the type of fruit used. If you use dried sour cherries, don't use too many, because they will give the compote too stronga sour cherry flavor. Sweet fruit, like dried apples, pears and raisins, will result in a compote with a brighter taste. Apricots are great too, contributing another rich taste layer. I add fresh apple and pear for their texture, which remains somewhat crunchy even after they simmer.
