Ingredients

  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup sweet Marsala wine
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cinnamon stick
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots quartered
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries or other dried fruit
  • Dash kosher salt
  • 1 cup Granny Smith apples diced 1/4-inch thick cubes
  • 1 cup pears 1/4-inch slices
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • In a 4-quart saucepan or pot bring the wines, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon to a simmer. Stir slowly to dissolve the sugar in the liquid. Add the remaining ingredients except the lemon juice. When the liquid comes to a boil, adjust the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes to marry the flavors and soften the fruit.
  • Turn off the heat then stir in the lemon juice. With a slotted spoon remove the fruit to a bowl. Bring the remaining syrup to a simmer and reduce until lightly thickened or when the bubbles formed on the top become small. Remove the syrup from the heat and when it is cool pour it over the fruit. The compote can be held in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Serve fruit and juices atop pound cake. Or pour warmed or room temperature compote and juice over pareve ice cream.
