Dried Fruit Compote

4 oz. dried peaches
4 oz. dried mango
4 oz. raisins
4 oz. pitted prunes
2 T. honey
Apple juice to cover
1 cinnamon stick
1 mace blade
A little sliced fresh ginger
Greek yogurt (optional)
Muesli or cereals (optional)
Roasted cashews or macadamia nuts (optional)

Place all ingredients in a pan over low heat and bring to a boil. If you are short of time, poach gently for 30 - 60 minutes, until soft. If doing ahead, once it has boiled, leave the fruit to soak overnight.

To serve, remove the spices and serve on its own or with muesli or other cereals, with Greek yogurt on the side. Can also top with nuts just before serving. Serve warm or cold depending on the season.

Also good with various other dried fruits, and/or a splash of Calvados.

Serves 4.
