Ingredients

Dried Fruit Compote with Sambuca

This quick compote is a good choice for a winter dinner when you have little time to cook but want to make an impression. You can prepare it ahead (it's better made ahead), then spoon it over store-bought ice cream to create an original and memorable dessert. I also like it with blue cheese at the end of a meal, especially if there's a dessert wine on the table.

(Makes about 5 cups)

1 cup dried peaches or nectarines, cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips

1 cup dried pears, cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips

1 cup dried apricots, cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips or quartered

1/2 cup golden raisins

1/2 cup dried cherries

2 cups water

1 cup sugar

2 whole cloves

1-inch piece cinnamon stick

2 lemon zest strips

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
