Dried Fruit Compote With Chevre image

Mound this wine-scented and herb-flavored fruit mixture over a round of fresh chevre (goat cheese) and accompany the colorful creation with thin slices of French baguette or mild flavored crackers. No need to follow the dried fruit quantities or choices exactly; use about 1 ½ cups total fruit, taking into account that a colorful variety will make the most stunning presentation.

I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, so I used cream cheese instead. It was still delicious.

This dried fruit compote with chevre was an explosion of flavors in my mouth! The sweetness of the fruit, the tanginess of the goat cheese, and the crunchiness of the walnuts came together perfectly.
