Dried Fruit Compote

Use any combination of dried fruit you have on hand for this easy, old-fashioned breakfast staple. Victoria de la Maza

I remember my grandmother having this for breakfast (something to do with the prunes?). It is a really retro, old-fashioned breakfast staple that is super easy to make and a great lower-sugar alternative to fruit parfait.

Simply simmer a mixture of dried fruits in orange water until plump, and then serve warm or cold. You can use just one fruit or a combination of many. I am using a mix of dried apricots, peaches, prunes, apples, and golden raisins.
