Winter Fruit Compote Healthy Recipe

This warm fruit recipe is exceptionally good in winter. It is simple to prepare and a tasty way to get your fruit when fresh fruit is not plentiful.

Warm fruit compote goes well served with pork, chicken or turkey.

This compote also helps stretch a meal when guests pop in unexpectedly and has the added bonus of not allowing you and yours to miss out on your fruits this winter!

Ingredients:
Using a 9 x 13-inch baking pan (unless transporting, then use a large oven proof casserole) layer the following ingredients:

One jar prepared applesauce
One can of cherry pie filling
1 pound, 3 ounce can sliced peaches
1 pound, 3 ounce can sliced pears
One pound, 3 ounce can of apricot halves, well drained
One pound, 3 ounce can chunk pineapple
Ten pitted prunes

Directions:
Top with a mixture of 1/2 cup of brown sugar, a generous amount of cinnamon and enough brandy or sherry to make mixture well moistened. Be generous -- especially if it is the holidays!

Bake at 350 degrees for approximately one hour or until fruit is bubbling in the center. You can speed it up in a microwave on high power.
