Holiday Dried fruit compote
Instructions:
- Trim stems from figs. In saucepan, combine figs, apricots, prunes, raisins, cinnamon stick, cloves, allspice, orange rind and juice and 3 cups water; bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until fruit is tender, about 20 minutes.
- Discard cinnamon, cloves and allspice; let cool. (Make-ahead: refrigerate in airtight container for up to 3 days.)
- Garnish: garnish each serving with orange slices.
- Vanilla yogurt topping:
- Spoon 11⁄2 cups low-fat (1%) vanilla-flavoured yogurt into cheesecloth-lined sieve over bowl. Cover and refrigerate until thick enough to mound on spoon, 1 hour. (Make-ahead: refrigerate for up to 2 days.)
