Ingredients

3 cups water

1 cup freshly brewed coffee

1 orange, thinly sliced with rind intact

1/2 cup sugar or more, to taste

1 large lemon, thinly sliced with rind intact

1 cup seedless grapes, white or red

1/2 cup raisins, golden or black

1/2 cup dried cherries

1 pound of mixed dried fruit such as figs, prunes, apricots, nectarines, mangoes, peaches or apples

8 whole cloves

4 cinnamon sticks

Directions

Brew coffee.

Put water and sugar in a large saucepan and stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.

Put in everything - except the grapes - and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

The fruits will become fork-tender soft, and the liquid will achieve a syrupy consistency.

Add the grapes and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

Serve in individual bowls or as a side in a pretty glass serving bowl

You can also strain, chop, and use the softened fruit as a filling for sweet pastries , etc
