Cranberry
Fruit Compote
(From Jamestown, NY's
"Post Journal" newspaper--Nov. 12th, 2001)
This artful fruit
compote is colorful and versatile. It can be served "as is" for family
meals; as a topping on angel food, sponge, or pound cake for company; or
for those favorite winter comfort foods, rice and tapioca pudding.
Ingredients:
-
1/2 c. sugar;
-
1+1/2 c. water;
-
1-inch piece fresh ginger,
peeled and very thinly slivered;
-
1 c. dried fruit mix;
-
2 c. fresh or frozen cranberries;
-
1 orange, peeled and sectioned;
-
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled,
cored and cut into small, thin wedges;
Directions:
In large saucepan, combine sugar, water and ginger. Bring to a boil over
high heat. Add dried fruit mix. Bring back to a boil and immediately reduce
heat to low simmer. Cook, uncovered, until fruit is not quite tender--about
5 minutes.
Add cranberries and simmer, stirring occasionally, until cranberries pop.
Stir in orange and apple. Remove from heat. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Makes 6 servings.
