INSTRUCTIONS

To make the fritters:  Whisk together first 5 ingredients in small
bowl; let stand 10  minutes. Combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking
powder and salt in  medium bowl. Using fingers or pastry blender, add
chilled margarine  to flour mixture and cut in until mixture resembles
coarse meal. Stir  egg mixture thoroughly into dry ingredients.  Heat 2
inches vegetable oil in heavy medium saucepan to 350F. Working  in
batches, drop batter by rounded tablespoonfuls into hot oil. Cook
until brown, turning occasionally, about 3 minutes. Transfer fritters
to paper towel-lined cookie sheet and cool.  Combine powdered sugar and
1/4 cup liqueur in small deep bowl. Add  enough water to make
medium-thick glaze. Dip fritters halfway into  glaze. Arrange fritters
glaze side up on plate. (Can be prepared 6  hours ahead. Let stand at
room temperature.)  Arrange 3 fritters on each of 8 plates. Spoon
compote alongside.  Garnish with fresh mint and serve.  To make the
compote:  Bring water, sugar and aniseed to boil in heavy medium
saucepan over  high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil until
reduced to 1  cup, about 20 minutes. Place apricots in medium bowl.
Strain boiling  syrup over apricots. Discard aniseed. Add liqueur to
apricots and  stir. Cover and let stand at room temperature until
apricots are  tender, about 8 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Let
stand at  room temperature.)  Add pineapple, strawberries and kiwi
fruit to apricots. Toss well.  Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.  Makes 24.
