DRIED FRUIT COMPOTE WITH RUM
I no longer do much baking with rum & liqueurs, but once-upon-a-time this compote was well-received & most enjoyed! This is a great topping for various unfrosted cakes as well as for vanilla ice cream! The pint jars also make nice gifts! Obviously, the preparation time does not include the 30 days it takes to 'age'!! NOTE: The ingredients have been edited to decrease the amount of honey to use -- one thing I know for sure, everyone's sweet tooth is different!

Steps:
- Peel zest in long strips from half of orange with a vegetable peeler and trim any white pith from zest. Cut zest into fine julienne strips. Halve orange and squeeze 1/3 cup juice.
- Combine zest, juice, wine, sugar, and 2 cups water in a 3-quart heavy saucepan. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean with a sharp knife into wine mixture, reserving pod for another use. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then continue to boil, uncovered, until reducedto about 3 cups, about 10 minutes.
- While syrup is boiling, cut off and discard fig stems and halve figs lengthwise. Add figs to syrup and simmer, covered, until they soften, about 5 minutes. Add apricots and prunes, then simmer, covered, until plump, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer compote to a heatproof bowl and cool to warm or room temperature, 1 to 2 hours.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality dried fruits: Use plump, unsweetened dried fruits for the best flavor and texture. Organic and sulfite-free options are recommended.
- Soak the dried fruits: Soaking the dried fruits in liquid (such as water, rum, or orange juice) helps to plump them up and soften them, resulting in a more tender compote.
- Use a variety of dried fruits: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of dried fruits to create a flavorful and visually appealing compote. Common choices include raisins, cranberries, cherries, apricots, and figs.
- Add spices and flavorings: Enhance the flavor of the compote by adding spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger. You can also add citrus zest, vanilla extract, or almond extract for a touch of sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Cook the compote slowly: Simmer the compote over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruits are tender and the liquid has thickened. This slow cooking process helps to develop the flavors and create a rich, syrupy consistency.
- Chill the compote before serving: Allow the compote to cool completely before serving. Chilling the compote helps to firm it up and allows the flavors to meld together. Serve the compote cold or at room temperature.
Conclusion:
Dried fruit compote with rum is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own, served as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal, or used as a filling for pies and tarts. With its sweet, tangy, and boozy flavor, this compote is sure to impress your taste buds. Experiment with different combinations of dried fruits and spices to create your own unique and flavorful compote.
