DRIED FRUIT COMPOTE



Dried Fruit Compote image

I originally got this out of Eating Well magazine, but have tweaked and played with it a bit. I always make a batch to serve with soft cheeses, like real Gorgonzola, Brie--or Sean's favorite, Fromage di Afinois. Really, really good. Can use with just about any kind of dried fruit, though DH insists you can't do it without at least the apricots. It's also great with turkey or ham on a sandwich.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fruits: Use a variety of dried fruits with different textures and flavors. Some good options include apricots, cherries, cranberries, raisins, and pears.
  • Use a good quality port: The port will add a lot of flavor to the compote, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a port that is rich and flavorful, with notes of fruit and spice.
  • Don't overcook the compote: The fruit should be plump and tender, but not mushy. Overcooking will also make the compote too thick.
  • Let the compote cool before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and mellow.
  • Serve the compote with a variety of accompaniments: Some good options include yogurt, ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.

Conclusion:

Dried fruit compote is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover dried fruit. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a delicious and healthy dried fruit compote at home.
