A traditional dried-fruit compote made by simmering dried apricots, plums, and raisins in water, then chilling. Popular in winter and at iftar, this light, sweet drink has a rich fruit aroma.
Rinse the dried fruit and soak it in warm water in a bowl for 15 minutes. This lets the fruit plump up and release its aroma.
Transfer the fruit and soaking water to a pot. Simmer over medium heat until the fruit is tender. Add the sugar and cook for a few more minutes.
Turn off the heat and let the compote steep, covered, for 15 minutes. Let it cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator. Serve cold with the fruit.
Soaking the dried fruit in warm water for a while shortens the cooking time and deepens its aroma. You can reduce the sugar depending on the sweetness of the dried fruit. Store in the refrigerator for a few days and serve cold.
