This spiced dried fruit compote is a French winter dessert made by simmering dried apricots, prunes, and figs in water with sugar, cinnamon, and cloves until tender. Soaking the fruit in warm water first helps it soften evenly and quickly as it cooks. Packed in a jar, it also travels well for picnics as a convenient snack.
Soak the dried apricots, prunes, and figs in warm water for 20 minutes to soften them.
Bring the water, sugar, cinnamon, and cloves to a boil.
Drain the dried fruit, add it to the boiling water, and simmer over low heat for 25 minutes, until tender.
Transfer the compote and syrup to a jar and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Soak the dried fruit before cooking; adding it straight to boiling water can leave the outside soft while the inside stays firm.
