Irene Howard of Shanandoah, Iowa shares her recipe for a crowd-pleasing compote that takes advantage of convenient canned fruit. Its sweet, buttery sauce, spiced with ginger and cinnamon, makes a warm and wonderful addition to any breakfast buffet. Ingredients:
2 cans (one 20 ounces, one 8 ounces) pineapple chunks |
2 cans (15-1/4 ounces each) apricots, drained and quartered |
1 can (29 ounces) sliced peaches, drained |
1 can (29 ounces) pear halves, drained and quartered |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
2 cinnamon sticks (3 inches) |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
Directions:
1. Drain pineapple, reserving juice. In an ungreased shallow 3-1/2-qt. baking dish, combine the pineapple, apricots, peaches and pears; set aside. In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, ginger and reserved pineapple juice; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 5 minutes. Discard cinnamon sticks. Pour over fruit.
2. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until heated through. Serve warm. Yield: 10 cups.
