This fruit compote is made with a generous mix of prunes,
apples, raisins and oranges. Served chilled, this fruit
recipe is a nice addition to add color and flavor to your breakfast or
brunch table.
The
warm bright inviting colors of the fruits are eye catching and add that
needed punch of color when you are serving a special brunch menu. A
hint of cinnamon adds a deep rich flavor to the fruit juices.
This
fruit recipe is wonderful for a holiday brunch menu, but tastes great
any time of year. You can also try my recipe for hot
fruit compote.
