This recipe is a fail. The compote never thickened, even after I cooked it for an hour.

This is the worst compote I've ever had. It's sour and bitter. I had to throw it away.

This recipe is not worth the effort. The compote is bland and flavorless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my compote turned out too runny. I think I should have cooked it for a little longer.

This compote is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had more sugar.

I'm not a huge fan of dried fruits, but this compote was really good. The flavors were well-balanced and it wasn't too sweet.

This is a really easy recipe to follow. I was able to make it in about 30 minutes. The compote turned out perfectly. It's not too sweet and it has a nice tartness to it.

I love this compote! It's so versatile. I've used it as a topping for pancakes, waffles, and yogurt. I've also stirred it into oatmeal and it was delicious. It's also great on its own as a snack.

This is a great recipe for using up dried fruits. I had a bunch of dried figs, apricots, and cherries that were about to go bad, so I decided to try this recipe. It turned out great! The compote is thick and flavorful, and it's perfect for spreading

This compote is a delight! The combination of dried figs, apricots, and cherries creates a wonderfully rich and flavorful dish. I served it with yogurt and granola for breakfast and it was the perfect way to start the day.
