Compote Of Dried Fruit

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Lemon Zest! If we only could tell you how many email messages The  Cook
& Kitchen Staff received when we included the zest of a fruit in  a
recipe. For those members of Recipe-a-Day.com totaling 11,308 who  did
not write, Zest is the rind of an orange, lemon, lime, tangerine,  etc.
Its tough as heck and loaded with a zesty burst of fresh-fruit  flavor
... Hence, the name.  All zest aside, this little recipe is a sure
keeper for a fantastic  dessert that only has 245 calories per serving
and 0 (thats zero)  grams of fat. If that isn't enough, serve your
dried fruit compote  tonight and you add 5 grams of fiber to tomorrows
... Well, you know.  In a large saucepan combine juice with aniseed or
cinnamon stick,  honey, and lemon zest. Bring the mixture to a boil and
simmer over  low heat. Add fruit and continue to simmer, uncovered, for
about  10-minutes until dried fruit is softened.  with a slotted spoon,
transfer fruit to a serving bowl. Increase head  to medium for the
juice mixture that remains and simmer until the  sauce has reduced to
about 1 cup. the process of reducing the juice  will take about 10 to
15-minutes. Pour the reduced juice over the  fruit. cover and
refrigerate until cold, then serve.  Posted to
