TROPICAL FRUIT COMPOTE
Based on a recipe from Heidi Haughy Cusick's book, Soul and Spice, African Cooking in the Americas. This book is chock-filled with Caribbean, Bahia Brazilian, and Louisiana Creole recipes. She says, "The plethora of fruit available year-round for the picking contributes to its popularity as dessert all over the Caribbean. Here is a recipe that combines tropical fruits with a syrupy glaze of rum-flavored guava jelly. It is inspired by one that appeared in an old recipe collection from the island of St. Vincent. For a special occasion, serve the compote over Banana Coconut Bread and top it with a little whipped cream." I haven't tried this yet.

STRAWBERRY-BANANA COMPOTE
Fruit and butter with a little bit of brown sugar. Heat until it smells magical. That's it. You can add bourbon as well, for a hit of smokiness (the alcohol will cook off) that pairs well with French-toast brunches. Or let the mixture cool, then store in the refrigerator, and combine it later with thick Greek yogurt. One note: If you don't like the color of the compote, for the heating will pull some from the fruit, add a spoonful of strawberry preserves as a kind of blusher.
